Savory Garlic Gruyere Pull-Apart Bread

Ingredients

• 2 batches Pizza-Tastic Dough
• 5 tablespoons butter
• 1 garlic clove, crushed with press
• 2 tablespoons dried onion flakes
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 2 green onions, finely chopped, plus 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions
• 1 cup coarsely shredded Gruyère cheese
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
• 1 cup marinara sauce, heated, for dipping

Instructions

1. 1Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease a 10- to 12-cup Bundt pan and dust it lightly with flour. On a floured surface, shape each ball of pizza dough into an 8-inch square.
2. 2Combine 4 tablespoons of butter and the crushed garlic in a small microwave-safe bowl.
3. 3Cover the bowl with vented plastic wrap and microwave on high for 1 minute, or until the butter melts. Brush the garlic butter generously over both dough squares. Sprinkle one square with the dried onion flakes and sesame seeds.
4. 4Sprinkle the second dough square with two of the chopped green onions.
5. 5Cut each dough square into 1-inch pieces. Place one-third of the flavored dough pieces, buttered side down, into the bottom of the prepared Bundt pan.
6. 6Sprinkle half a cup of the shredded Gruyere cheese over the dough. Add another third of the dough pieces, followed by the remaining half cup of Gruyere cheese. Finish with a final layer of the remaining dough pieces.
7. 7Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and brush it over the top layer of dough. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of chopped green onions and the fresh parsley over the top.
8. 8Cover the Bundt pan with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for 20 minutes.
9. 9Bake the bread for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. Let the bread cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Invert the bread onto a serving plate and remove the pan. Serve warm with heated marinara sauce for dipping.
