Ingredients

• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1.25 cups Warm water (about 110°F/43°C)
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 tablespoons Melted unsalted butter
• 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, granulated sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir and let sit for 5 minutes, until the mixture becomes foamy.

Step 2

Add the olive oil, salt, and 3 cups of all-purpose flour to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough begins to come together. Gradually add the remaining 0.5 cups of flour as needed, kneading until the dough is soft and slightly sticky (about 8–10 minutes by hand or 5 minutes with a stand mixer).

Step 3

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or a small bundt pan.

Step 5

In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using).

Step 6

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into small, evenly sized balls (about 1.5 inches in diameter).

Step 7

Dip each dough ball into the garlic butter mixture, then layer them in the prepared pan, sprinkling each layer with a mix of Parmesan and mozzarella cheese.

Step 8

Once all the dough balls are used, pour any remaining garlic butter over the top and sprinkle with the final layer of cheese.

Step 9

Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap and let the dough rise again for 30 minutes.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let the Spudini Bread cool for 5–10 minutes in the pan before turning it out onto a serving plate.

Step 12

Serve warm, pulling apart the pieces of bread, and enjoy!
