In a bowl, mix together the yeast, sugar, warm water, 1 cup flour, and a pinch of salt. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
Add 1½ cups flour, powdered milk, and oil. Knead the dough for 10 minutes until smooth.
You can start working with the dough right away no additional resting time needed.
Roll the dough out into a large rectangle.
Spread butter all over the dough, then sprinkle with garlic powder and chopped cilantro or parsley.
Add a generous layer of shredded cheese.
Cut the dough into pieces and arrange them in a baking pan, slightly overlapping to create the pull-apart effect.
Bake at 350°F for about 30 minutes, or until golden and the cheese is melted.
