Buttery Garlic Bread Ring
Brenda

1 lb frozen bread dough, thawed
1 stick UNSALTED butter, melted
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 1/2 - 2 tsp fresh garlic, FINELY minced (or if you're in a hurry use 1 tsp garlic powder)
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp parsley

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray bundt pan with cooking spray. In small bowl, mix together parmesan cheese, minced fresh garlic OR garlic powder, salt, parsley and beaten egg. Take thawed bread dough and let rise. Pinch off small pieces (about the size of a golf ball or a tad smaller), roll them in the wet ingredients and put them around the ring in the bundt pan. Let it rise till it doubles. Let bake for 30-40 minutes, depending on your oven. Slowly melt stick of butter on low. As soon as it the bread comes out, brush 1/2 of the melted butter on it. It will bubble a little and look like it's swimming in butter but, wait a few minutes and it will soak into the bread. Then drizzle the remaining butter on top. This ring comes out of the bundt pan easily so, just remove it and put on a serving dish. If there's any butter in the bottom of the pan, pour it in the center of the dish for quick dipping. Serve immediately.
