Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1.25 cups Whole milk
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 large Egg
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (for garlic mixture)
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
Warm the milk to about 110°F (43°C) and add it to the dry ingredients along with the melted butter and egg. Mix until the dough comes together.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, knead in a stand mixer with a dough hook for 6-8 minutes.
Lightly grease a large bowl with olive oil and place the dough inside. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Meanwhile, prepare the garlic butter mixture: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 16-20 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a small ball.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a bundt pan with butter or cooking spray.
Dip each dough ball into the garlic butter mixture, ensuring it's well coated, and layer them in the bundt pan. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese between layers.
Cover the bundt pan with a towel and let the dough rise again for 20-30 minutes.
Bake the garlic bread ring in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before carefully inverting the bread onto a serving plate.
Serve warm and enjoy this pull-apart garlic bread ring with your favorite dipping sauces or alongside a hearty pasta dish.
