Ingredients

Bread Dough

2-1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1-1/4 cups warm water (110-120F)
1/4 cup honey
1/3 cup melted butter, cooled
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
3-1/2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour

Roasted Garlic Asiago Filling

2 tablespoons butter, softened
5 cloves roasted garlic, mashed into a paste
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup shredded asiago cheese
1 large egg, lightly beaten with 1 tablespoon water

Instructions

Bread Dough

In a large stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand 5 minutes, then mix in honey, melted butter, and egg.
With mixer running on low, add salt and flour. Increase speed to medium and keep mixing until dough pulls away from sides of bowl (if dough seems too sticky, add 1 tablespoon of flour at a time until dough pulls away from sides)
Increase mixer speed to medium and knead dough until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Gather dough into a smooth ball and place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature 1-1/2 hours until doubled in size.

Roasted Garlic Asiago Filling

In a small bowl, mix butter, roasted garlic, parsley, salt and pepper to taste, and asiago until creamy. Set aside for a moment.
Punch risen dough down and turn onto a floured surface. Roll out dough into a 18x8 in rectangle and spread butter mixture to within 1-in of edges.
Starting with the short side, tightly roll up dough jelly-roll style pinching edges to seal at the end. Place bread roll seam-side down in a greased 9x5-in loaf pan. Lightly cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350F.
Gently brush loaf with beaten egg mixture and bake 30-35 minutes until bread is a deep golden brown. If desired, sprinkle top of bread with additional asiago cheese. Let cool completely in pan on a wire cooling before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
