Method

Warm the milk in a pan over a medium-low heat for 1-2 mins. Remove from the heat, add the butter and allow to melt.
Add the bread mix to a large bowl and make a well in the middle. Pour in the milk mixture and stir. Tip onto a work surface and knead for 10 mins. Lightly grease the bowl with oil. Add the dough, cover and leave to rise for 1 hr, until doubled in size.
Turn onto a work surface and lightly knead to remove the air bubbles. Divide into 24 equal-sized balls.
Line a large baking tray with parchment and place a medium-sized bowl in the centre. Arrange the dough balls around the bowl in a wreath shape. Remove the bowl. Cover with a clean tea towel and leave to rise for 30 mins.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Bake the dough balls for 25-30 mins until golden. In a bowl, mix the 3 tbsp oil, rosemary and garlic together. Brush the dough balls with the garlic and rosemary oil and bake for a further 1 min. Set aside to cool.
While the dough balls cool, toss the grated cheese with the cornflour to coat. Bring the Stella Artois Unfiltered to the boil in a large pan. Reduce the heat and add the cheese, a handful at a time, stirring continuously until melted.
Place the dough ball wreath on a board with the bowl of cheese dip in the centre. Serve immediately.
