Garlic Parmesan Pull-Apart Bread

Ingredients

• 500 g Bread flour
• 1 tbsp Dry yeast
• 2 tbsp Sugar
• 2 tbsp Honey
• 250 ml Water
• 50 g Canola oil
• 0.5 tbsp Salt
• 1 cup Garlic cloves (Peeled; about 1 cup.)
• Olive oil (Enough to fully cover the garlic.)
• 3 tbsp Butter (Softened.)
• 2 tbsp Parsley (Chopped.)
• 1 tsp Chili flakes
• 1 tsp Sesame seeds
• Grated Parmesan cheese (Amount not specified.)

Steps

1. 1

   Mix the dry yeast, sugar, and water. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes, until foamy.

2. 2

   Add the bread flour, honey, and canola oil. Knead for 3 minutes.

3. 3

   Add the salt and continue kneading for at least 10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.

4. 4

   Cover the dough and let it rise for at least 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

5. 5

   Meanwhile, put the peeled garlic cloves in an oven-safe dish and cover them fully with olive oil. Bake at a low temperature, around 250°F (120°C), until soft and golden. The source does not specify a baking time.

6. 6

   Transfer only the garlic cloves to a bowl, leaving the oil behind. Mash the cloves.

7. 7

   Add the softened butter, chopped parsley, chili flakes, and sesame seeds to the mashed garlic and mix.

8. 8

   Using scissors, cut the risen dough into small, rustic pieces; they do not need to be perfectly even.

9. 9

   Toss each dough piece in the garlic-butter mixture, then coat it with grated Parmesan.

10. 10

    Stack the coated dough pieces in a baking pan.

11. 11

    Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 40 minutes, until golden brown and fully baked.

12. 12

    Serve warm and pull apart.

Notes

The olive-oil amount is given as enough to fully cover the garlic; the Parmesan amount is not specified. No time is given for roasting the garlic.
