Cooking Steps

1

• Finely chop garlic and parsley.

2

• In a large bowl combine basic sponge mix, Greek-style yoghurt, 2 tbs of olive oil, the honey and water. • Add grated Parmesan cheese, shredded Cheddar cheese, garlic, parsley and chilli flakes (if using), and knead to form a smooth dough, 4-5 minutes. • Rest for 30 minutes. TIP: Add a splash more water if the dough feels dry.

3

• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. To a small microwave-safe bowl, add the butter and microwave in 10 second bursts until melted. • Divide dough into 12 pieces and roll into smooth balls. • Place on an oven tray lined with baking paper, arranging to form a tight circle. • Brush with butter and sprinkle over mixed sesame seeds. Bake until golden, 14-16 minutes.

4

• Take the cheesy garlic pull-apart balls to the table. • Serve with basil pesto and more butter if desired. Enjoy!
