-
Grease an 8" square or 9" round pan.
-
To make the dough: In a medium bowl, combine the dough ingredients using a spoon or spatula. The dough will look a little dry at first but will become soft and somewhat cohesive as you stir. It’s OK if it looks a little rough at this stage.
-
On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough until it becomes smooth and somewhat bouncy, about 1 minute.
-
To add the filling: Divide the dough into 24 equal pieces (about 28g each). Keeping the rest of the dough pieces covered as you work, slightly flatten each piece and place a cube of cheese in the center. Gather the edges of the dough together and pinch to seal the seam, enclosing the cheese inside. Roll each piece into a ball (in your hands or on the surface) and place into the prepared pan.
-
Cover the dough and let rise for 30 to 60 minutes, or until puffy. While the dough is rising, preheat your oven to 375°F.
-
To add the topping: Once your dough has risen, in a small bowl, combine the melted butter and seasoning packet. Pour evenly over the pull-apart bread. Sprinkle with the shredded cheese.
-
Bake the cheesy pull-apart bread for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
-
Remove the pull-apart bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Serve warm, either straight from the pan or turned out onto a plate.
-
Storage information: The pull-apart bread is best served warm, fresh from the oven. Reheat, covered in aluminum foil, for 15 to 20 minutes at 350°F or until warmed throughout.
