Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tbsp sugar, 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast, and 1 tsp salt; mix well. In a separate bowl, whisk 1 1/4 cups warm water (110°F/43°C), 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter, and 3 minced garlic cloves.
  2. Step 2: Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  3. Step 3: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  4. Step 4: Punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface to a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. Sprinkle with 1 tbsp fresh parsley, 1 tsp dried oregano, and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Roll up tightly from the long side, then cut into 12 slices. Arrange the slices in a circle on a greased baking sheet, overlapping slightly to form a ring.
  5. Step 5: Cover and let rise for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the top with 1 tbsp olive oil and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.

Frequently asked questions

How long does Garlic Herb Ring Bread take to make?

Total time is about 55 minutes (30 min prep + 25 min cook). Most home cooks find this fits comfortably into a busy morning; prep components the night before to save active time.

How do I store leftover Garlic Herb Ring Bread?

Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven; egg- or grain-based items may need a splash of milk or water to refresh texture. Cold-served items (overnight oats, smoothies) keep 2–3 days in the fridge.

Can I substitute ingredients in Garlic Herb Ring Bread?

Yes — most ingredients in this recipe have flexible swaps. For oil, use any neutral high-smoke-point oil (avocado, grapeseed, refined coconut). For aromatics, dried herbs at ⅓ the volume of fresh work in a pinch. The full ingredient list is shoppable on Instacart so you can see substitutes in real time.

How do I scale Garlic Herb Ring Bread for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 12 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 12). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.

What goes well with Garlic Herb Ring Bread?

American breakfast like this pair well with a simple grain (rice, couscous, or crusty bread), a quick salad with acid (lemon vinaigrette, pickled onions), and a pan sauce or yogurt-based dip. Tap "Plan a meal with the AI" to get specific side suggestions.
