Flammkuchen-Style pull apart bread prepared in the Le Creuset Signature Bread Oven

Instructions

For the dough 

1. Place the yeast and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Heat the milk on the stove or in the microwave until lukewarm. Add the warm milk to the yeast and sugar. Whisk gently to dilute, then loosely cover with a clean kitchen towel and allow to sit for 10-15 minutes.
2. If you do not have a mixer, you can mix the dough with a wooden spoon. Add the butter, egg, flour, salt, garlic powder and rosemary. With the mixer, beat on low speed for 3 minutes. The dough will be quite soft. Transfer it to a lightly floured work surface. With your lightly floured hands, knead it for 1 minute. If the dough is too sticky, add 1-3 more Tablespoons of flour, but you want a very soft dough. Shape into a ball.
3. Place the dough into a greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Place in a slightly warm environment to let rise until doubled in size, around 60-90 minutes. As the dough rises, prepare the filling in the next step and grease the Le Creuset Bread Oven and the borders of the lid. 

For the filling

4. In a medium bowl, mix the soft butter, rosemary, parsley, garlic, and salt with a fork or spoon. Set aside until ready to use. Don’t refrigerate unless making well in advance. It’s easiest to spread it on the dough when at room temperature.

To Assemble the bread

5. Place dough on a lightly floured work surface. Divide into 12 equal pieces, a little larger than a golf ball. Using lightly floured hands, flatten each ball into a circle. Spread 1-2 teaspoons of filling mixture into the center of each of them. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of cheese. Fold the circles into a ball and line in prepared Le Creuset Bread Oven. Sprinkle some more cheese and some of the filling on top (if there are some leftovers).
6. Cover with the lid and allow to rise once again in a slightly warm environment until puffy, about 30-45 minutes.

To bake the bread

7. Preheat oven to 200°C.
8. Bake in the Le Creuset Bread Oven until slightly golden brown, for about 80 minutes. If the top of the loaf is browning too slowly, take off the lid and continue baking for a few minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven and place the Le Creuset Bread Oven on a wire rack. If desired, sprinkle some fresh parsley.
9. Cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then remove from the Le Creuset Bread Oven and serve warm.
