Ingredients

• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Warm water (110°F/43°C)
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, granulated sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5-7 minutes until the yeast is bubbly and activated.

Step 2

Add salt, melted butter, and 2 cups of flour to the yeast mixture. Mix until well combined, then gradually add the remaining flour. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic, or use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5 minutes.

Step 3

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

Step 4

While the dough is rising, prepare the garlic butter by combining minced garlic, olive oil, 1 tablespoon of the melted butter, and chopped parsley in a small bowl.

Step 5

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into roughly 30 small pieces. Roll each piece into a ball.

Step 6

Dip each dough ball in the garlic butter mixture, coating it evenly. Layer the coated dough balls into a greased 9-inch bundt pan or round cake pan.

Step 7

If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese between the layers of dough balls.

Step 8

Cover the pan with a kitchen towel and let it rise again for 30 minutes.

Step 9

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 10

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

Step 11

Let the bread cool slightly in the pan for 5 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a serving plate.

Step 12

Serve warm and enjoy! This bread pairs wonderfully with marinara sauce or as a side dish to a hearty soup or pasta.
