Directions:

STEP 1

Combine flour, salt, sugar and yeast in a large bowl. Add water and mix with your hands bringing the dough together.

STEP 2

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead vigorously for 10 minutes. Transfer to a large lightly oiled bowl and cover with a clean cloth. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in size – about 1 hour.

STEP 3

Knead the dough lightly for 1 minute, then roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle measuring approximately 20x12in.

STEP 4

Spread the pesto or sun-dried tomato paste over the dough, leaving a little less than an inch border along one long edge. Scatter the rosemary and Parmigiano Reggiano cheese evenly. From the other long edge, roll the rectangle into a sausage-shape, pressing the long edge to seal it. Curl the roll around into a circle, sealing the ends together.

STEP 5

Lift the ring onto a large, greased baking sheet. Without cutting through entirely, cut 16 even slices with a sharp knife, keeping the circular shape. Twist each slice so that the cut surface lies upwards. Sprinkle with poppy seeds or sesame seeds. Leet rise in a warm place for 30-40 minutes.

STEP 6

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 520 F/Fan 375 F. Bake for 20-25 minutes until risen and golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.

Description:

Nothing says “Let’s Party” more than the Pull Apart Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese Bread! This recipe is sure to bring friends and family together while everyone reaches for “just one more” during Game Day celebrations.

Ingredients:

3 cups + 2 tbsp white bread flour, plus more for dusting
1 tsp. Salt
1 tbsp. cane sugar
1 rounded tsp. easy-blend yeast
1 ¼ cups Warm water
4 tbsp. red pesto or sun-dried tomato paste
2 tbsp. fresh rosemary, finely chopped
5 oz Parmigiano Reggiano, finely grated
1 tbsp. poppy seeds or sesame seeds
Parmigiano Reggiano cheese shavings, rosemary sprigs, olives, artichokes and sun-dried tomatoes in olive oil, to serve

Hint:

To make separate buns instead of a bread ring, cut through each slice completely and arrange on lightly greased baking sheets, cut side up, leaving them to rise as before.

Make sure you are buying Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, look for the distinctive dotted rind and make sure it is a product of Italy, otherwise it is not Parmigiano Reggiano cheese.

For this recipe, we recommend using Parmigiano Reggiano cheese aged 24 months.
