Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant dry yeast
- 1.25 cups Warm water (110°F)
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 large Egg
- 4 cloves Minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, and instant dry yeast.
Add warm water, 4 tablespoons of melted butter, olive oil, and the egg. Mix well until a shaggy dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic. Alternatively, you can knead the dough in a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5-6 minutes.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Grease two 8x4-inch loaf pans and set aside. Punch down the dough and divide it into small portions, roughly the size of a golf ball.
In a small bowl, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter with minced garlic and chopped parsley.
Dip each dough ball into the garlic butter mixture and roll it in grated Parmesan cheese (and shredded mozzarella if using).
Layer the coated dough balls into the prepared loaf pans, slightly overlapping them to create a pull-apart effect.
Cover the pans with a kitchen towel and let the loaves rise for another 30 minutes, or until slightly puffy.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the loaves for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the loaves from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Serve warm, garnished with additional parsley and grated Parmesan if desired.
