Garlic Pull-Apart Bread

For the dough: Mix warm milk, sugar, and yeast; let it foam for 5-10 minutes. Add all-purpose flour, 1 tsp salt, 2 tbsp melted butter, and optional egg to the yeast mixture. Knead until smooth for 8-10 minutes. Cover the dough and let it rise for 1-1.5 hours until doubled. 

For the garlic butter: Combine 4 tbsp melted butter, 3-4 minced garlic cloves, 0.5 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp chili flakes. 

To assemble: Roll out the risen dough and cut it into squares. Coat each dough piece in the garlic butter mixture. Stack the coated dough pieces in a loaf pan. Brush any extra garlic butter on top of the stacked dough. 

Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes until golden.
