Grease an 8x8-inch square or round pan with nonstick spray. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
In a medium bowl, use a spoon to mix together the dough ingredients into a rough dough. (It will be a little dry and that is okay.)
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and knead the dough until it becomes smooth and a bit bouncy, 1 to 2 minutes.
Using a knife, divide the dough into 24 equal pieces.
Add about 1 tablespoon filling in the center of each, seal the dough around it, and roll gently into a ball and place it in the prepared pan.
Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise for 15 minutes.
To make the topping, in a small bowl,combine the melted butter and seasoning packet. Pour the mixture evenly over the dough, then cover and let it rise for another 15 minutes, until puffy.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top. Bake for 22 to 28 minutes, or until it’s golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Serve warm, either straight from the pan or transferred to a serving plate.
Notes
Storage information: The pull-apart bread is best served warm, fresh from the oven. To reheat, cover in aluminum foil and bake at 350°F for 15 to 20 minutes until warm throughout.
