Equipment

  • Stand Mixer
  • bowl
  • 8-inch round cake pans
  • Wooden spoon
  • dough hook attachment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm water about 110 to 115°F
  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour plus more as needed
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 3 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese finely shredded, divided
  • 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese grated, divided
  • ground black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • In small bowl, combine sugar and yeast. Pour warm water over sugar mixture and let stand 5 to 10 minutes until yeast is foamy.
  • Meanwhile, in large bowl or bowl of stand mixer with dough hook attachment, mix flour and salt until combined. Pour yeast mixture and oil into center of flour mixture; stir with wooden spoon or on low speed with dough hook just until dough forms. Transfer dough to well-floured surface and knead by hand 10 to 15 minutes, adding more flour 1 tablespoon at a time until dough is smooth, soft, elastic and only slightly sticky; OR, knead dough in stand mixer with dough hook 5 to 7 minutes on medium speed, adding more flour 1 tablespoon at a time until dough is smooth, soft, elastic and only slightly sticky. Transfer dough to lightly greased bowl; cover with plastic wrap and let rise in warm place 1 hour until doubled.
  • Heat oven to 400°F. Spray two 8-inch round cake pans with cooking spray. In small bowl, stir butter, parsley, garlic and pinch salt until well combined.
  • Punch down dough and divide into 2 pieces. Place pieces on lightly floured surface and let rest 5 minutes, covered with clean kitchen towel. On floured surface, roll 1 piece dough into roughly 14x8-inch rectangle. Spread 2 tablespoons butter mixture evenly over dough. Sprinkle with ½ cup Cheddar Jack cheese and 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, plus a dash of black pepper. Roll up from long end into 14-inch log; pinch seam to seal.
  • With log seam side-down, carefully slice dough almost completely through into 1-inch rolls so rolls are still connected at bottoms. Lift dough and transfer carefully to prepared 8-inch pan. Arrange log into a ring in pan with rolls cut side-up. Repeat with remaining dough so you have 2 rings, 1 in each pan.
  • Spread or dollop remaining butter mixture over tops of rolls in pans. Cover pans and let dough rest 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Bake bread 20 to 25 minutes until deep golden brown.
