KITTENCAL'S PARMESAN GARLIC BREAD OR GARLIC TOAST

Steps:

• Set oven to 375°F.
• ** FOR GARLIC BREAD; cut slices down the length of the bread about 1-inch intervals without cutting all the way through.
• In a bowl, combine the softened butter with garlic, parsley and Parmesan cheese; mix well to combine.
• Spread the butter/garlic mixture between bread slices, and then on the top of the loaf (you may sprinkle more Parmesan cheese on top of the loaf if desired).
• Wrap the bread in heavy-duty foil leaving the top partially uncovered.
• Bake until heated through (about 15 minutes).
• ** FOR GARLIC TOAST; slice the bread into slices, then spread the garlic butter mixture over the top of each slice of bread, then sprinkle more Parmesan cheese over the top of each slice or you can sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top in place of the Parmesan.
• Place onto a baking sheet and bake (350 degrees F) until lightly toasted to desired doneness.
• Serve warm.
• TO MAKE AHEAD: Combine all ingredients (except the bread) store covered in refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze in a covered container ----- this bread can be made without the addition of the Parmesan cheese if desired, but of course it's better with the cheese!

KITTENCAL'S SOFT AND TENDER PULL-APART GARLIC ROLLS/BUNS

Steps:

• Spray two round 8-inch baking pans with cooking spray (preferable a dark metal pan).
• Melt 1/3 cup butter then mix in 1 teaspoon garlic powder until well combined.
• Drizzle enough melted butter/garlic mixture to lightly cover the bottom of the pan; set the remaining butter/garlic mixture aside to use later.
• Attach the kneader blade to the heavy duty stand mixer.
• In a small bowl or cup proof the yeast with 1 teaspoon sugar in 1/2 cup warm water for about 8-10 minutes or until foamy (if the yeast does not foam discard and start again).
• In the stainless steel mixing bowl from a heavy duty stand mixer combine 2-1/2 cups flour with 1 tablespoon sugar, salt and 1 to 1-1/4 teaspoons garlic powder, warm milk, soft shortening and egg.
• After the yeast has been proofed pour into the bowl then start mixing/kneading adding in a little more flour if needed to create a soft smooth dough (kneading time should take about 7-8 minutes).
• Remove to a greased bowl; cover and allow the dough to rise until doubled in size (about 1 to 1-1/2 hours, rising time will vary depending on the temperature of your kitchen and also dough with added egg will take longer to rise).
• Punch down the dough then divide into 10 even pieces then shape into balls.
• Place 5 balls in each pan (4 around the edges and 1 in the middle).
• Stir the reserved melted butter/garlic mixture once again before using as the garlic powder may have settled on the bottom, the lightly drizzle on top of each bun.
• Using your hands turn the balls to coat in the butter mixture.
• For even more garlic flavor pinch a small amount of garlic powder between your fingers then sprinkle over the top of each dough ball.
• Cover with a light clean tea towel and allow to rise for about 30 minutes or until almost doubled in size.
• Bake in a preheated 375 degree F oven for about 25 minutes or until golden brown.
