Omni Plus Garlic Mozzarella Pull-Apart Bread

By:

Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ oz. instant yeast
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • 3 tbsp. butter, melted
  • ½ cup milk, warmed
  • 2 tbsp. butter, softened
  • 1 tsp. garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp. chives, finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 6 oz. low-moisture whole milk mozzarella
Instructions
  • In a large bowl, stir together the flour, instant yeast, sugar, salt, and melted butter to form a sticky dough. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead lightly to form a smooth ball. Coat the dough ball lightly with oil.
  • Cut parchment paper into an 8” circle. Place the dough ball on the parchment, then set it on the cooking pan. Transfer the cooking pan to the Slow Cook/Proof level.
  • Select the Proof program and adjust the temperature to 90°F / 32°C and the time to 30 minutes, then press Start.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine the softened butter, garlic, chives and salt. Mix well and set aside. Cut the mozzarella in thin (<1/4") slices, then cut the slices into 1/2" strips.
  • When the program is complete, carefully remove the cooking pan. Press the dough into an 8” circle (to match the parchment). 
  • With a sharp knife, score the dough 8 times, then turn the dough 90 degrees and score 8 times again to form a crosshatch pattern. Spread the garlic butter evenly over the top. 
  • Carefully insert pieces of mozzarella in each of the scored slots.
  • Select the Bake program and adjust the temperature to 350°F / 177°C and the time to 10 minutes, then press Start.
  • When the preheat cycle is complete, place the cooking pan in the Roast/Bake level. Close the oven to resume the program.
  • Bake until the cheese is melted and partially browned. Serve warm. The bread will easily pull apart at the scores.
