Make this gooey, cheesy garlic pull apart bread using simple ingredients. This recipe delivers soft, buttery bread with a melted cheese center, perfect as a restaurant-style appetizer or savory side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (13.8 ounces) refrigerated pizza dough
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. Unroll the pizza dough onto a clean surface. Do not stretch or flatten it. Cut the dough into approximately 1-inch squares.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and salt. Mix well.
  4. Place the dough squares into a large bowl. Pour the garlic butter mixture over the dough squares and toss gently until all pieces are coated.
  5. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese over the dough pieces. Toss lightly to distribute the cheese, but do not overmix.
  6. Transfer the coated dough pieces into the prepared loaf pan, arranging them loosely.
  7. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 5 minutes before carefully inverting it onto a serving plate. Serve warm for the best melty cheese pull.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder to the butter mixture.
  • If you prefer a crispier exterior, bake the bread on a baking sheet instead of a loaf pan.
  • This bread is best eaten the day it is made for the softest texture.
