Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 cup Warm water (110°F/45°C)
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 Egg
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (for coating balls)
- 3 Garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup Grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and active dry yeast.
Add the warm water, milk, melted butter (3 tablespoons), and egg to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined.
Gradually add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until a soft dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but pull away from the sides of the bowl.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 6-8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours or until doubled in size.
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into about 40 small pieces (1-inch in diameter).
In a small saucepan, melt the 1/2 cup of butter for coating. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes on low heat, just until fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in parsley.
Dip each dough ball into the garlic butter mixture, ensuring it's fully coated, and then place it into a greased bundt pan or loaf pan. Layer the balls evenly as you go.
Sprinkle the parmesan cheese over the top of the dough balls once evenly layered in the pan.
Cover the pan with a kitchen towel and let the dough rise again for 30-40 minutes or until the dough has risen slightly.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the loaf for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a serving plate.
Serve warm and enjoy as a side dish or a tasty snack!
