Cheesy garlic bubble bread pull-apart

INGREDIENTS

• 100g butter, softened
• 5 garlic cloves, crushed
• 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
• 3 cups bread flour
• 3 teaspoons instant yeast
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup warm water
• 70g cheddar

METHOD

Step 1

Combine butter, garlic and parsley in a bowl.

Step 2

Using an electric mixer with the hook attachment, mix flour, yeast and salt until combined. Make a well in centre. Add warm water and 2/3 of the butter mixture. Mix for 10 minutes or until dough is smooth and elastic. Place in a large greased bowl. Cover. Stand in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 3

Cut cheese into 30 x 1cm cubes. Grease a 20cm x 30cm lamington pan with some of the butter mixture (see note).

Step 4

Punch down dough. Cut into 3 portions. Roll each portion into a 20cm long log. Cut each log into 10 equal portions. Working with 1 portion at a time, flatten into a disc. Place a cube of cheese in centre. Fold over dough to enclose and pinch to form a ball. Repeat with remaining dough and cheese. Arrange balls in prepared pan. Brush generously with butter mixture. Cover. Stand in a warm place for 30 minutes.

Step 5

Preheat oven to 200C/180C fan-forced. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden. Brush with remaining butter mixture. Stand for 10 minutes. Serve.
