• 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder (or one chopped garlic clove)

• 1 cup Milk, warm

• 3 Tablespoons Butter, melted

1. In the bowl of your mixer combine the dry ingredients - flour, salt, yeast, sugar, and garlic powder. Stir to combine.

2. Add the warm milk and melted butter, then mix with a dough hook on your mixer for about 8 minutes or until the dough ball isn’t sticking to the sides of the mixer.

3. Add your cheese to the dough and knead for one more minute, until fully combined.

4. Let your dough rest at room temperature for about an hour until doubled.

5. Place your dough onto a lightly floured surface and cut into 8 equal pieces.

6. Roll each piece of dough into a wormie about 6-8” long, then tie them together by criss crossing both ends, once crossed, then pinch the ends together and place them onto a lined baking tray.

7. Once all your dough is knotted, cover your baking tray with a clean dish towel and let rise at room temperature for 30 minutes to an hour, or until doubled in size.

8. Combine your glaze, mix the melted butter with the garlic, pepper and parsley.

9. Glaze each bun with the garlic butter glaze, then bake in a preheated 350*F oven for about 20 minutes, or until golden brown and when tapped on the bottom, they sound hollow.
