Ingredients

• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1.25 cups Warm water
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 cups Asiago cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, sugar, and yeast.

Step 2

Heat the warm water and 4 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan over low heat until the butter is melted and the temperature reaches 110°F (43°C).

Step 3

Gradually pour the warm butter mixture into the flour mixture while stirring until combined.

Step 4

Add the salt, then mix in the remaining 2 cups of flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough comes together.

Step 5

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8–10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.

Step 6

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 7

Punch down the dough and divide it into roughly 1-inch balls (you should have about 25–30 balls).

Step 8

Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and mix it with the olive oil, garlic powder, parsley, and 1.5 cups of shredded Asiago cheese.

Step 9

Dip each dough ball into the butter-cheese mixture, ensuring even coating.

Step 10

Arrange the coated balls in a greased Bundt pan or springform pan, layering them evenly.

Step 11

Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of Asiago cheese over the top.

Step 12

Cover with a towel and let rise again for 30–40 minutes, until puffy.

Step 13

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 14

Bake the bread for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown and fragrant.

Step 15

Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully inverting it onto a serving plate.

Step 16

Serve warm and enjoy!
