Ingredients

• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1.25 cups Whole milk
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 large Egg
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (for garlic mixture)
• 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Warm the milk to about 110°F (43°C) and add it to the dry ingredients along with the melted butter and egg. Mix until the dough comes together.

Step 3

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, knead in a stand mixer with a dough hook for 6-8 minutes.

Step 4

Lightly grease a large bowl with olive oil and place the dough inside. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 5

Meanwhile, prepare the garlic butter mixture: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley.

Step 6

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 16-20 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a small ball.

Step 7

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a bundt pan with butter or cooking spray.

Step 8

Dip each dough ball into the garlic butter mixture, ensuring it's well coated, and layer them in the bundt pan. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese between layers.

Step 9

Cover the bundt pan with a towel and let the dough rise again for 20-30 minutes.

Step 10

Bake the garlic bread ring in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before carefully inverting the bread onto a serving plate.

Step 12

Serve warm and enjoy this pull-apart garlic bread ring with your favorite dipping sauces or alongside a hearty pasta dish.
