Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Bread dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 6 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 6 cloves Garlic, minced
- 3 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tbsp Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp Flour (for dusting)
- 1 bottle Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a bundt pan or loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
On a floured surface, divide the bread dough into small, roughly 1-inch pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and set aside.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chopped parsley, thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper.
Dip each dough ball into the garlic butter mixture to coat fully. Layer the coated dough balls evenly into the prepared pan.
Sprinkle half of the grated Parmesan cheese and shredded mozzarella cheese over the first layer of dough. Repeat the process to create a second layer, using the remaining dough balls, garlic butter, Parmesan, and mozzarella.
If there is any remaining garlic butter, drizzle it evenly over the top of the dough.
Cover the pan loosely with aluminum foil and let the bread rest for 15 minutes to rise slightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is bubbly. For a crispier top, remove the foil during the last 5 minutes of baking.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before carefully transferring it to a serving plate. Serve warm as a shareable appetizer or side dish.
