Ingredients
Scale
- 2 teaspoons Platinum Yeast from Red Star
- 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup (180ml) whole milk, warmed to 110°F (43°C)
- 3 Tablespoons (43g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 2 and 1/3 cups (291g) all-purpose flour, plus more as needed
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 Tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or 2 teaspoons dried)
- 5 Tablespoons (71g) unsalted butter, extra soft (for filling)
- 1 Tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or 2 teaspoons dried, for filling)
- 1 Tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped (or 2 teaspoons dried, for filling)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced (or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, for filling)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (for filling)
- 3/4 cup (95g) shredded parmesan, mozzarella, or cheddar cheese
- 1 Tablespoon (14g) unsalted butter, melted (optional topping)
- Coarse or flaky sea salt for sprinkling (optional topping)
Instructions
- In a stand mixer or large bowl, combine yeast, sugar, and warm milk (110°F). Stir gently, cover, and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- Add butter, egg, flour, salt, garlic powder, and rosemary. Mix on low speed for 3 minutes until combined.
- Knead the dough on medium speed for 5 minutes (or by hand for 5 minutes). If sticky, add flour gradually, 1 teaspoon at a time. Dough should be soft and slightly tacky but not sticky. Let it rise in a greased bowl for 60-90 minutes until doubled in size.
- In a medium bowl, mix soft butter, rosemary, parsley, garlic, and salt for the filling. Set aside.
- Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Flatten each piece into a 4-inch circle.
- Spread 1-2 teaspoons of the filling on each circle and sprinkle 1 Tablespoon of cheese. Fold the circles in half and line them up in a greased 9×5-inch loaf pan, round side up.
- Cover the pan with plastic wrap and let it rise for 45 minutes until puffy.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Bake for 50 minutes until golden brown. If the top browns too quickly, cover with foil.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Optionally, brush with melted butter and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
Notes
- Ensure the milk is warmed to the correct temperature for the yeast to activate.
- Feel free to use different types of cheese for the filling.
- This bread is best served warm and fresh.
