Pull-a-part Bun Recipe

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Dough

   In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy. Then, add flour, salt, and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

2. 2

   Knead the Dough

   Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Form into a ball and place in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

3. 3

   Prepare Garlic Oil

   In a small saucepan, combine minced garlic and 1/4 cup of olive oil. Heat gently until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.

4. 4

   Assemble the Buns

   Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into small pieces (about 1-2 inches each). Roll each piece into a ball and dip in the garlic oil. Layer them in a greased bundt pan, alternating with mozzarella cheese and chopped anchovies.

5. 5

   Second Rise

   Cover the bundt pan and let it rise for an additional 30 minutes.

6. 6

   Bake

   Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the pull-apart bun for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. Let it cool slightly before removing from the pan.

7. 7

   Garnish and Serve

   Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve warm, pulling apart the buns as desired.
