CHEESY GARLIC BREAD RECIPE FROM SCRATCH RECIPES

Steps:

• mix the yeast and sugar in a measuring cup, that keeps it from getting lumpy, add the cup of warm water and stir together. let sit for 5 minute.
• mix 2 cups flour and salt in a med sized bowl, then dump in yeast mix and stir until a soft dough forms.
• kneed until dough is smooth and elastic, adding more flour if needed. don't add so much flour that it becomes dry, it should still be slightly sticky.
• rinse out the bowl and swirl the oil around in it, put the dough back in and turn it over so it's coated.
• cover the bowl (i like to wrap a tea towel over and under it), and place in a warm (not hot!) oven to rise. i usually turn my oven on to the lowest setting that will turn on the element for 5 min and then turn off.
• once the dough has doubled in size, punch it down and form into a long, thin loaf. place on a cookie sheet that you've oiled and sprinkled with cornmeal. slash diagonally with a sharp knife 3 or 4 times. place it back in your warm oven until it's doubled again.
• turn the oven up to 375f for 20 minutes. my oven runs a little cool so i turn it up to closer to 380 or 390. a little too warm is better then a little to cool in this case. after 20 min it should be nicely golden on top. let it cool until no more then warm.
• in the mean time mix all ingredients of the garlic butter.
• slice vertically into 3/4-1 inch slices, leaving the bottom crust intact. carefully pull slices apart so you can spread the butter on each side of each slice without breaking them apart.
• wrap loosely but completely in foil and bake at 400f for 10-15 minutes. serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups flour, Fleischmann’s RapidRise yeast, sugar, salt, and garlic powder.  In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and 2 tablespoons melted butter. Add wet ingredients to flour mixture and mix with a wooden spoon until combined. Add remaining 1 1/2 cups flour and ¾ cup mozzarella and mix until dough begins to become cohesive. Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface and knead, adding more flour if dough feels sticky, until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Transfer dough to a clean bowl and let rest 10 minutes. Grease a 9”-x-13” pan with cooking spray and preheat oven to 375°. Divide dough into 15 equal pieces and roll each into a ball, then place in prepared pan. Drape pan with dish towel and let dough rise until doubled in size, 1 hour. Toward the end of the rise, in a small bowl, stir together remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter, garlic, parsley, and red pepper flakes and season with salt. Brush garlic butter onto rolls and sprinkle with Parmesan and remaining ½ cup mozzarella. Bake until rolls are puffy and golden, 25 minutes.
