directions

  • Dissolve yeast in the warm water.
  • Mix together (using a spoon) the yeast mixture, egg, sugar, salt, Parmesan cheese, herbs, the 1/4 cup butter, and half of the flour (1 3/4 cup).
  • Mix in the remaining flour and knead for 5 minutes. I always need to add quite a bit more flour to make it 'kneadable'; up to 1 cup depending on the flour brand. It has never harmed the finished product. Let rise until double, about 60-90 minutes.
  • Lightly flour a cutting board or counter top. Punch down dough, then put in on the floured surface. Roll it into a 12-inch square. Brush with the additional 2 tablespoons melted butter. Cut into approximately 25 squares.
  • Overlap the squares, butter side down, in a greased bundt pan. Let rise until double, approx 30-45 minutes.
  • Bake at 375F for 20-25 minutes. Watch to keep the top from burning.
  • Remove from oven and dump the bread onto a plate. Flip to another plate to turn it right side up. The squares that you made should seperate easily into perfect sized pieces.
  • It's best served warm with butter.

  1. This was really tasty. Made it tonight with the garlic dill potatoes off this site and a garlic parm chicken. The bread was really light and soft. I used my bread machine to make the dough and didn't need to add any more flour. My bundt pan is silicon, so i have to bake things with a cookie sheet... this makes some things not cook all the way in the center, and this was no exception. Not the fault of the recipe, but I may cut the heat and bake longer next time... Didn't want to burn it. My husband and son loved pulling chunks of this off the loaf, so I will definitely make this again! Thanks for sharing.

Hello, and thanks for coming to my page! There's not much here now, but I plan on adding more if I ever get the chance. I have tried out all of my recipes before posting them here, but forgot to take pictures. So any reviews or pictures of my recipes would be appreciated. I love cooking yeast breads, especially Focaccia breads. I try to review/photograph all of the recipes I've tried off of the site.
