Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1.25 cups Warm water
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil (for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.

Step 2

Gradually add the warm water to the dry ingredients, mixing until a sticky dough forms. Continue kneading the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in the chopped parsley, rosemary, thyme, and minced garlic. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into small balls, roughly 1 inch in diameter.

Step 6

Dip each dough ball into the herbed butter mixture, ensuring they are fully coated, and layer them into a greased bundt pan.

Step 7

Drizzle any remaining herbed butter over the top of the dough balls and sprinkle evenly with grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 8

Cover the bundt pan with plastic wrap and let the dough balls rise for another 30 minutes until puffed.

Step 9

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 10

Bake the monkey bread in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach approximately 190°F (88°C).

Step 11

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