Ingredients

• 1 lb Bread dough (store-bought or homemade)
• 6 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 6 cloves Garlic, minced
• 3 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tbsp Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Ground black pepper
• 1 tbsp Flour (for dusting)
• 1 bottle Nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a bundt pan or loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

On a floured surface, divide the bread dough into small, roughly 1-inch pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and set aside.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chopped parsley, thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Dip each dough ball into the garlic butter mixture to coat fully. Layer the coated dough balls evenly into the prepared pan.

Step 6

Sprinkle half of the grated Parmesan cheese and shredded mozzarella cheese over the first layer of dough. Repeat the process to create a second layer, using the remaining dough balls, garlic butter, Parmesan, and mozzarella.

Step 7

If there is any remaining garlic butter, drizzle it evenly over the top of the dough.

Step 8

Cover the pan loosely with aluminum foil and let the bread rest for 15 minutes to rise slightly.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is bubbly. For a crispier top, remove the foil during the last 5 minutes of baking.

Step 10

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before carefully transferring it to a serving plate. Serve warm as a shareable appetizer or side dish.
