1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

To Make The Bread

To Make The Yeast Mixture

To a pan, add the milk and 1 tbsp butter. Heat it till the butter melts.
Then, add the yeast. Give it a mix, and set aside.

To Make The Dough

To a bowl, add the flour, salt, milk and melted butter, and roughly knead it together.
Add the cheese, and knead into a soft dough. This should take about 15-20 minutes.
Transfer it into a bowl, and set it aside for at least an hour in a warm place.

To Make The Bread

To the remaining butter, add the herbs, and mix them in.
Add this butter mixture to the dough, and gently, mix it in.
Take a little bit of the dough and form it into a ball. Make the same size balls with the remaining dough.
To a round cake pan, add a little oil at the bottom and put a ramekin in the middle. Layer the dough balls all around the ramekin.
Bake in a pre heated oven at 180 degrees for 10-12 minutes or till done.
Let it cool down on a wire rack completely before turning it out. Serve with a dip in the middle.

Factoid

Pull apart bread, which is sometimes also known as monkey bread is one of the easiest bread recipes you can make. I say this because, unlike other bread recipes. you don’t actually have to wait for the yeast to rise at the start. You can mix all of your ingredients and then let it rise. This bread is filled with cheesy goodness and dried herbs, which is a combination you can never go wrong with.
