After my successful tried on Cinnamon Rolls Pull Apart Bread, I tried another pull apart bread. This time around it was Garlic Parmesan Bread. I was looking for garlic bread recipes and accidentally found this in Zesty Palette. Wow the bread was so awesome....not mine but her's. I over baked my bread and if you plan to make one the color should be lighter. Taste just like any other garlic bread except the "pull apart" part. I served this with Beef Tomato Stew. It's heavenly delicious.

Notes
1. Feel free to use any herb of choice. The original recipe called for parsley flakes.
2. If using active dry yeast, proof it first using warm water and sugar. Then add that mixture to the bread flour.
3. All purpose flour can be used, but bread flour does make a difference.

Method

• Take bread flour in a bowl.
• Add instant yeast and mix well.
• Add oil.
• Add salt and mix well.
• Using water form a dough.

• See how crumbly it looks. Do not add more water. Start kneading.
• After a couple of minutes of kneading.
• See how soft it looks after about 10 minutes of kneading. Get those muscles to work :). Cover and place in a warm place. I normally turn the oven light on and place it inside.

• After about 2 hours, see how much it has risen. Punch it down.
• Meanwhile melt the butter in a bowl.
• Add garlic. I used the microplane grater to grate the garlic. You can also mince it.
• Add cilantro and chilli flakes.
• Mix well.

• Pinch a small piece of dough and roll it in the butter mixture.
• Place the dipped balls in a bundt pan forming a single layer. Feel free to use any pan.
• Sprinkle some parmesan cheese over it.
• Place more balls as another layer.
• Add some parmesan cheese to the top. Place in a warm place for about 1/2 an hour for it to rise again.
• It has risen beautifully and has filled up all the gaps. Bake in a 350F oven for 25 - 30 minutes until the bread turns brown. This time varies from oven to oven and for me it took around 40 minutes. I also broiled for a couple of minutes finally to get a nice brown color on top.

Rancangan asal hendak buat garlic bread, tetapi secara tidak sengaja terjumpa resipi dari Zesty Palette, dia tunjukkan step by step process membuat roti ini. Nampak menarik saya pun cuba. Rasa macam garlic bread yang lain, sedap cuma cara susunan roti ini lebih kepada pull apart yang setelah masak boleh ditarik-tarik keluar.Roti yang saya buat ini agak terbakar sedikit, saya masukkan roti dalam oven pergi solat...terlelap sekejap..ha...hitam roti saya. Kalau betul-betul ikut masa membakar warnaya agak cerah sedikit. Saya hidangkan ini dengan Tomato Beef Stew..memang kena gandinganya.
