Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic, parsley, salt and black pepper. Turn risen dough out onto counter. Cut in walnut sized pieces. Dip into butter mix. Place into buttered 10" ring mold (1-1/2 qt size). Make even layer. Let rise about 1 hour or until doubled. Bake at 375 for 25-30 minutes or until golden.
