Learn how to make delicious Cheesy Garlic Butter Pull-Apart Bread. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Gather these simple ingredients to create a dish that’s sure to become a favorite in your home:

  • 1 large sourdough or artisan loaf
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes for a bit of heat

If you’re unable to find fresh parsley, dried parsley will work in a pinch. For those who prefer a different cheese, feel free to experiment with cheddar or a blend of your favorites.

Instructions

Ready to create a masterpiece? Follow these steps for a perfect pull-apart bread experience:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Using a sharp bread knife, carefully cut the loaf into a grid pattern with 1-inch squares, ensuring not to cut all the way through the bottom crust.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley, stirring well.
  4. Gently pull apart the bread squares and drizzle the garlic butter mixture evenly throughout the cuts.
  5. Stuff the shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese into the cuts, ensuring even distribution. This is where you can channel your creativity, much like my grandmother did with her cooking.
  6. Wrap the loaf in aluminum foil and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 15 minutes, then unwrap and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the top is golden brown.
  8. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the warm, cheesy goodness with your loved ones!

As you bake, remember that cooking is as much about the journey as it is about the result. Embrace any imperfections—they’re part of what makes home cooking so special.
