Parmesan Pull Apart Bread #baking #bread #recipe

INGREDIENTS

1 ½ cups lukewarm water
2 tsp dry, active yeast
3 cups bread flour
1 tsp salt
3 ½ tbsp Everything Bagel seasoning
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cups freshly shredded Parmesan cheese
½ cup shredded Mozzarella cheese

DIRECTIONS

In a small bowl, mix lukewarm water and yeast.

Let it sit for about 10 minutes until foamy and activated.

In a large bowl, combine bread flour, salt and 2 tbsp Everything Bagel seasoning.

Add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil.

Mix until a sticky dough forms, then knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Cover and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1–2 hours, until doubled in size.

Once risen, transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface.

Roll the dough into a large rectangle, about four times longer than the width of the baking pan you’ll use.

Cut the dough into four equal strips.

Sprinkle each strip generously with Parmesan, Mozzarella, and a bit more Everything Bagel seasoning.

Cut each strip into three smaller pieces and stack them one on top of another.

Carefully place the stacks upright into a loaf pan lined with parchment paper.

Once all the dough is arranged, sprinkle the top with the remaining Everything Bagel seasoning and extra Parmesan.

Cover lightly and let rise again for 30–40 minutes, until puffy.

Bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 35-45 minutes, until golden brown and the cheese is bubbling. Serve warm.
