    We are starting the third week of BM#65 and I have picked up one of my favorite themes, Pull-apart Bread. I have always been obsessed with this sort of bread/bun and somehow when I saw some handful of pull apart buns/loaves, I thought I should get my group to bake this bread. I have been enjoying all the different pull-apart bread that has been baked to date and I wanted to add my share as well.

    I made a savory version of this pull apart bread as I love savory buns and felt including the herbs will make the buns taste out of the world! Just as I thought, the buns disappeared within seconds.

    I picked up a Sunday to make this bread and when it was resting it was afternoon. The buns were baked and ready by evening, with Peddu going around saying his Tea Snacks is ready. He doesn't drink tea, yet he felt these make great snacks for TeaTime. I wondered how he came to that conclusion. Indeed, as he said, these disappeared so quickly that I was happy that I clicked some pictures.







    Cheesy Garlic Herb Pull-Apart Monkey Bread

    Ingredients Needed:

    Bread Dough

    First rest for 2 hrs
    Second rest for 30 mins
    Baked for 20 mins at 200C

    Bread Dough

    All­ Purpose Flour / Bread Flour -  3 Cups
    Fresh Herbs / Dry herbs - 2 tbsp
    Sugar  - 2 tbsp
    Instant Yeast  - 2 1/4 tsp
    Olive Oil - 2 tbsp
    Water, lukewarm - 3/4 cup + 2 tbsp water
    Warm Milk - 1/2 Cup
    Salt - 1 tsp
    Red Chili Flakes - 1 tbsp

    For the Herb Butter

    Fresh Herbs - 2 tbsp
    Melted Unsalted Butter - 3 tbsp
    Garlic - 5 to 7 cloves

    Cheese grated - 1/4 cup (I used Mozzarella and Cheddar)

    How to make the Monkey Bread

    For the Dough

    In a wide bowl, take the flour, salt, sugar, instant yeast, mixed herbs, red chili flakes, and add the warm milk. Mix well and slowly add water by tbsp. Keep kneading for 5 to 7 mins. Finally, add the olive oil and knead again till the dough bounces back.

    Cover with a muslin cloth for it to double. It took me about 2 hours for the first rise or the dough to double its size.

    Punch down the dough and transfer to a work surface. Make two logs long logs.

    Meanwhile, prepare the herb butter by MW the butter till it melts, add the dry herb to it along with crushed garlic.

    Now pinch down small equal size balls from the dough. You can either make an even ball or leave it as such since this is going to be a monkey bread. I, however, felt somewhat even balls would have looked better.

    Grease a bundt pan ready, and dip or roll each ball into the garlic herb butter, place each ball in the pan. Add grated cheese to it and complete the balls after each is dipped.

    Let it sit again for the second rise. Mine took about 30 mins.

    Preheat the oven to 200 C, then bake the buns at 200C for 20 mins.

    Let it rest for 5 mins before digging in.
