Garlic Parmesan Monkey Bread
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 1/3 cups barely warm water
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 3 1/2 cups all purpose (or bread) flour
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the yeast and water. Let sit 5 minutes until yeast is foamy. Mix in the olive oil, salt, and flour. If you have a stand mixer, attach the dough hook and knead the dough for 5-6 minutes, or until elastic. If you are doing this by hand, knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until dough is elastic, 7-10 minutes. Transfer dough to a lightly oiled bowl and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Allow to rise for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until dough is doubled in size.
- In a large ziplok baggie, combine melted butter, parsley flakes, and minced garlic. Set aside.
- Punch down the dough. Tear off small pieces of dough (roughly the size of the bowl of a medium spoon), and add to the ziplok bag of butter mixture. Toss to coat. Place dough balls in bottom of pan to form one layer. Sprinkle on 1/3 of the Parmesan cheese. Continue layering the dough balls and cheese until you have 3 layers. Cover the pan with a clean towel and allow to sit until dough has doubled in size, 20-30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until bread is golden brown. Serve hot with a side of marinara or tomato sauce.
