Method
 

How to Make Garlic Parmesan Pull-Apart Bread
  1. In a small bowl, mix the warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy and bubbly.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, fine sea salt, and garlic powder.
  3. Pour in the activated yeast mixture and melted butter into the flour blend. Stir until it forms a shaggy dough.
  4. Transfer the dough to a floured surface. Knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Grease a bowl lightly with oil, place the dough inside, cover, and let it rise until doubled in size (1-1.5 hours).
  6. Gently punch down the risen dough and divide it into small balls. Dip each ball into melted butter, then roll it in Parmesan cheese.
  7. Place the coated balls into a greased bundt or loaf pan.
  8. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
  9. Optional: Garnish with fresh parsley.
