Garlic Herb Star Bread

 

Ingredients

For Dough:

3/4 cup whole milk
1/4 cup unsalted butter - softened to room temperature or microwave for few seconds
1 large egg
2 1/3 cup all purpose flour (or bread flour)
1 tsp salt
3 Tbsp granulated sugar
2 tsp instant or active dry yeast

For filling:

1 egg - lightly beaten
6 Tbsp unsalted butter - chopped into pieces
2 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp garlic powder
1 Tbsp fresh parsley chopped
1 tsp fresh thyme - finely chopped
1/2 tsp freshly grated lemon zest
1 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp salt (if using less salty cheese)
1 cup grated cheese (pecorino parmigiano or mix cheddar and parmesan)  

Directions

For Dough:

Add ingredients to a bread machine in order listed. Set bread machine on dough setting. 

Before the dough is left to rise in the machine, ensure that it is a soft dough. The water content in the dough will help rise the bread when baking. 

For filling:

Mix all ingredients. 

See the video tutorial (starting at 1:30) to put together the star bread: 


After arranging the star bread, let it rest covered for 20 mins. Preheat oven to 350 degree F.
 
Bake on a large parchment paper for 20-25 mins until the top browns.
Tip - While baking, the butter in the mixture will drip. Keep an empty tray underneath to catch the drip.
