Ingredients

• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1 cup Warm water (110°F/45°C)
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 Egg
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (for coating balls)
• 3 Garlic cloves (minced)
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
• 0.25 cup Grated parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and active dry yeast.

Step 2

Add the warm water, milk, melted butter (3 tablespoons), and egg to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined.

Step 3

Gradually add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until a soft dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but pull away from the sides of the bowl.

Step 4

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 6-8 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours or until doubled in size.

Step 6

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into about 40 small pieces (1-inch in diameter).

Step 7

In a small saucepan, melt the 1/2 cup of butter for coating. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes on low heat, just until fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in parsley.

Step 8

Dip each dough ball into the garlic butter mixture, ensuring it's fully coated, and then place it into a greased bundt pan or loaf pan. Layer the balls evenly as you go.

Step 9

Sprinkle the parmesan cheese over the top of the dough balls once evenly layered in the pan.

Step 10

Cover the pan with a kitchen towel and let the dough rise again for 30-40 minutes or until the dough has risen slightly.

Step 11

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 12

Bake the loaf for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.

Step 13

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

Step 14

Serve warm and enjoy as a side dish or a tasty snack!
