Ingredients
300g high grade flour
2 tsp Pams Active Yeast
1 ½ tsp caster sugar
120g Pams pure butter, softened
3 garlic cloves, crushed
¼ cup fresh herbs, roughly chopped (we use chives and parsley)
1 cup Pams mozzarella grated cheese
Method
In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the flour, yeast, sugar and a teaspoon of salt. Pour ¾ cup of warm water into the dry ingredients and use a dough hook to knead at medium speed until a soft dough forms; adding extra water if the mixture is too dry.
Add 40g of the butter and knead for around five minutes or until the dough becomes smooth and pliable. Transfer to a greased bowl, cover and proof in a warm place for an hour or until doubled in size.
Melt the remaining butter and mix with the garlic and herbs in a medium bowl. Once proofed, divide the dough into even-sized small pieces, then roll into balls and coat in the butter mixture.
Divide the dough balls amongst a greased 12-hole muffin tray and cover, allowing to proof for a final half-hour or until risen. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 180°C fan bake.
Once risen, sprinkle the monkey bread with cheese and bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown. Serve and enjoy while warm, or keep stored in an airtight container.
Top tip
If you don’t have a stand mixer, this recipe can be made by hand! Simply knead the dough by hand on a clean, floured benchtop. The only difference? A little bit of added time, but with a rewarding end result!
