Monkey bread with cheese

topcook.tomathouse.com

Ingredients:

  • 2 packages of ready-made dough for layered buns (about 16 pcs.), each bun cut in half
  • 1 cup finely grated Parmesan
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp granulated garlic
  • 1/4 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1/4 tsp dried thyme
  • 0.5 cups olive oil
  • Special equipment: a round cake pan with a hole in the middle

Preparation:

  1. Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray the pan with cooking spray.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the Parmesan, oregano, garlic, rosemary, and thyme, distributing the ingredients evenly. Roll half of each bun into a ball. Place 8 balls in a medium bowl and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, tossing well to coat.
  3. Transfer each ball to the Parmesan mixture to coat completely, then place in the prepared pan. Working in batches of 8, repeat with the remaining dough balls, arranging them in the pan.
  4. Bake until risen and golden brown, about 50 minutes. Check the bread halfway through and cover with foil if it's browning too quickly.
  5. Cool for 10 minutes. Use a thin spatula to loosen the sides of the bread. Invert the pan onto a baking sheet and place the monkey bread, pretty side up, on a serving platter.
