On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 16 x 8 inch rectangle; set aside.

In a small bowl, mix together butter and garlic until smooth.

Cover surface of dough with butter.

Sprinkle cheese and parsley evenly over butter.

With a pizza slicer or very sharp knife, cut dough into three long strips (16-inch direction).

Stack strips so that they are evenly placed on top of one another.

Slice this width-wise into six slices to make six square stacks.

Place each stack, slice-side-up, on its side in prepared loaf pan.

Let rise until double in size.

Bake in a preheated 375° oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

Remove from oven and pan to cool on wire rack.
