Cheesy Pull-Apart Bread

Ingredients

• 0.75 cup warm milk
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 2.25 tsp active dry yeast
• 1 egg (Room temperature.)
• 2 tbsp oil
• 3 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup butter (Softened.)
• 1 tsp herb mix (Transcript describes this as Italian seasoning.)
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp thyme
• 1 tsp rosemary
• 1 tsp salt (The transcript also mentions a little salt in the dough; amount not specified.)
• 1 cup cheese blend (Description says “1 cup cup cheese blend”; interpreted as 1 cup.)
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese

Steps

1. 1

   Warm the milk, then stir in the sugar and active dry yeast. Let the mixture stand for 5–10 minutes, until the yeast is bloomed.

2. 2

   While the yeast blooms, place the flour in a mixing bowl and add a little salt, as directed in the transcript; the amount is unspecified.

3. 3

   Pour the bloomed yeast mixture into the flour. Add the room-temperature egg and the listed oil, then mix and work the mixture into a dough. The source does not specify a mixing or kneading technique.

4. 4

   Put the dough in a Ziploc bag and leave it to rise for 1 hour.

5. 5

   While the dough rises, combine the softened butter with salt, garlic powder, onion powder, herb mix or Italian seasoning, thyme, and rosemary. The transcript says to season to taste and suggests using about a teaspoon for each seasoning; the description provides the listed teaspoon amounts.

6. 6

   Once the dough has doubled in size, take it out and cut it, then arrange it in a loaf pan. The source does not explain the cutting or shaping pattern.

7. 7

   Cover the dough and let it rise again for about 30–40 minutes, until doubled in size. The transcript says to place it back in the Ziploc bag, sideways.

8. 8

   Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). The transcript says the oven is preheated before baking.

9. 9

   Bake for 25–30 minutes.

Notes

The description lists cheese blend and Parmesan but the transcript does not explain when or how to add them, nor does it specify how the seasoned butter is applied. It also does not give a detailed shaping or assembly method, so those steps are not supplied here. The transcript says to add a little salt to the dough and to season the butter with salt, but the description gives only one measured teaspoon of salt; the amount for dough salt is unspecified.
