Yeast dough:

Cooking the dish step by step with photos:
Cooking yeast dough. Sift the wheat flour into a suitable sized bowl. premium. Of course, you can immediately pour it directly onto the work surface (table), but it’s more convenient in a bowl. A few words about yeast: it is not necessary to take fast-acting yeast - just dry (also 5 grams - that’s 1 heaped teaspoon) or fresh/wet/pressed will do (exactly 3 times more is used, that is, 15 grams). Such yeast is not immediately mixed with wheat flour, and are activated in warm sweetened liquid for 10-15 minutes. For this recipe You can very slightly heat half a glass of milk with a teaspoon granulated sugar and dissolve the yeast in it. I used fast-acting ones, so I added them immediately to the flour, which I had sifted twice in advance. Add 1 teaspoon of sugar and salt there, mix everything - like this bulk products distributed evenly throughout the mixture.
Make a well in the center and pour warm (not hot, but pleasantly warm) milk into it. Mix everything with your hand or a spoon to moisten the flour.
It should work out flour lumps, after it you can add 50 grams of melted, lukewarm butter. We begin to knead the dough with our hands or using a dough mixer (bread maker) - whichever is more convenient.
You need to knead this yeast dough for monkey bread for quite a long time - at least 10 minutes, and even better, longer. As a result, you will have a smooth, completely homogeneous dough. It should not be too soft or even sticky. This yeast dough holds its shape perfectly, it is elastic and elastic. During the kneading process, you may need a little more or a little less flour than I indicated in the ingredients - it depends on its moisture content. Roll the dough into a ball and leave it in a bowl (I always wash the dishes in which the dough ferments - I just don’t like dirty ones). We send the dough to heat for 1 hour, after which we do a light kneading, re-rounding and again to heat for another 1 hour. Where better test wander and what does a warm place mean? There are several options. First of all, in the oven with the light on (it turns out to be approximately 28-30 degrees - the ideal temperature for fermenting yeast dough). Then tighten the bowl with the dough cling film or cover with a towel natural fabric(linen is best) so that the surface does not become weathered and crusty. You can also let the dough ferment in microwave oven, in which we first bring a glass of water to a boil. The dough will rise when the door is closed, and the glass will stand there. Then there is no need to cover the bowl with anything, since the water will evaporate, thereby maintaining the necessary humidity. Just make sure that no one accidentally turns on the microwave, otherwise the dough will disappear and there will be no monkey bread.
The second time, the dough for the future monkey bread will grow even more - exactly 3, and maybe 4 times. By the way, I want to talk a little about the fermentation time of yeast dough and proofing of the dough. I hope you understand that this is a relative concept. What does it mean? Well, for example, the recipe says that the dough should be allowed to rest for 1 hour. You understand that 1 hour is the time that the author of this recipe needed. +/- 10-15 minutes is a completely acceptable deviation; the entire fermentation time of yeast dough depends on many factors. The freshness (and, as a result, activity) of the yeast, the quality of the flour, the room temperature, the amount of dough - all this affects the fermentation and proofing time. Therefore, never strictly follow these recommendations - you must feel the dough, understand what it needs, and then you will prepare it purely intuitively.
Stage of shaping future buns: divide the dough into small pieces (try to make them the same size) no larger than an apricot. Each piece of dough must be rounded and rolled into a ball (you can see how to do this in this recipe - steps 11-14). Cover them with cling film or a towel to prevent them from getting airy.
Heat the butter with garlic - on the stove or in the microwave (it’s faster and more convenient). The oil should not be hot, but pleasantly warm.
We will prepare a suitable one in advance round shape for baking - mine has a diameter of 26 centimeters. Best to use springform with a hole in the center, but I don’t have exactly that, so I put a molding ring in the middle (you can use a clean tin can from under peas or corn, for example). We line the baking dish parchment paper(no need to lubricate with oil) and transfer to it aromatic preparations staggered in one row. The hole in the center is necessary to ensure that the monkey bread bakes well.
Let's start preparing a snack from a loaf with cheese and garlic.
Remove the butter from the refrigerator and leave it on the counter to soften. Let's prepare the ingredients for the filling. Grate the cheese on a coarse grater, finely chop the parsley and dill without stems. Let's focus on fine grater garlic cloves.
Then mix all the ingredients thoroughly with softened butter.
Let's preheat the oven and start preparing the loaf for baking.
Take the loaf and cut into slices with a sharp knife, without cutting to the bottom of the loaf. Now coat the pieces of the loaf with a thick layer of the prepared garlic and cheese mixture so that the baked loaf is well soaked in cheese and remains soft inside.
Wrap the loaf in foil, place it on a baking sheet and put it in the oven for 20 minutes. In order for the loaf with the filling to bake on top, we must open the foil slightly and keep it in the oven until golden brown.
It turned out great snack or breakfast.
Serve these loaf sandwiches with cheese and garlic hot. Can be consumed with tea, coffee or as a first course, as my men like.

A baked loaf with cheese and garlic in the microwave does not have to be prepared as a whole dish - it can be taken as a base for making hot sandwiches. The recipe is very simple.

Bread with garlic and cheese - recipe
To prepare we need: wheat flour, warm water, dry yeast, granulated sugar, butter, hard cheese head of garlic and salt.
Pour warm water into a deep bowl. Do not use hot water, as the yeast will immediately form lumps.
Add a spoonful of dry yeast. Always use trusted yeast manufacturers so as not to spoil your baked goods.
Dissolve the yeast well warm water to obtain a homogeneous mixture. Add granulated sugar. Mix everything carefully again.
Sift flour through a sieve. Always sift flour, especially in yeast dough. This will make the dough fluffy.
Lubricate your hands sunflower oil so that the dough comes away from your hands better. Using circular movements, as if pressing the dough into the table, knead the dough for the future bread. You can even lightly beat the dough on the table top.
When the dough is ready, start preparing the bread filling. To do this, first, peel the garlic. Using a garlic press, crush the peeled garlic cloves. You can crush the garlic with a wooden mallet, which is used for cooking chops. Or chop very finely with a knife. Or you can just buy ready-made dry garlic.
Remove the butter from the refrigerator in advance so that it melts thoroughly. If you forgot to do this, then place it near a hot place, it will melt quickly.
Add crushed garlic and salt to the melted butter and stir.
Grate hard cheese using a grater.
Roll the finished dough into balls slightly larger than a walnut.
Take a loaf pan. I used a cake pan. Dip the balls one by one in the garlic-oil mixture and place the balls in the mold. Sprinkle grated cheese on top. Then lay out another layer of balls in the same way and cover with cheese again.
Cover the top of the pan with a towel and place in a warm place for half an hour so that the bread dough rises well. Make sure that there are no drafts or excess noise in the room.
