Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1 cup Warm water
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 cups Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon Minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 unit Egg, lightly beaten
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil (for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add warm water (not exceeding 110°F or 43°C) to the bowl, followed by 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Mix until the dough starts to come together.

Step 3

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, add small amounts of flour as needed.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp kitchen towel, and let it rest in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

Step 5

While the dough rises, mix the remaining melted butter with minced garlic and chopped parsley in a small bowl.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Grease a bundt pan with olive oil. Dip each dough ball into the garlic-butter mixture, then roll it in shredded cheddar cheese, pressing lightly to adhere the cheese.

Step 8

Arrange the coated dough balls evenly in the prepared bundt pan. If you have extra cheese, sprinkle it over the top.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush the top of the dough balls with the beaten egg for a golden finish.

Step 11

Bake the bread ring for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown on top and cooked through.

Step 12

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

Step 13

Garnish with additional parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy the cheesy pull-apart goodness!
