Garlic-Parmesan Monkey Bread

(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Pizza/flatbread

Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 tbsp. finely chopped green onions
  • 3 tbsp. finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tbsp. garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 5 tbsp. butter, melted
  • 2 1lb. loaves frozen bread dough, thawed
  • 2/3 cup grated Parmesan
  • 2 tsp minced garlic

Directions

  1. Coat a 10-inch Bundt pan or tube pan with cooking spray.

  2. Whisk together eggs, green onions, parsley, garlic powder, and salt, then whisk in butter. Pull off 1-ounce pieces of dough and roll each into a ball. To ensure that balls are the same size, roll each loaf into a 16-inch log, then cut it crosswise into 1-inch pieces. Dip several balls at a time into egg mixture to coat.

  3. Set aside 2 tbsp. Parmesan, then toss together remaining Parmesan and minced garlic in a shallow bowl. Arrange one-third of coated balls in a single layer in bottom of prepared pan. Sprinkle balls with half of garlic-parmesan mixture. Make a second layer with another third of dough balls in pan and sprinkle with remaining garlic-parmesan mixture. Make a third layer with remaining dough balls, then pour any remaining egg mixture over top and sprinkle with reserved 2 tbsp. Parmesan. Cover pan loosely and let dough balls rise until doubled in size, 45 minutes to 1 1/4 hours.

  4. Preheat oven to 350. Bake, uncovered, until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Turn bread out onto a rack, then turn crusty side up to cool before serving.
