Make soft, buttery pull apart bread loaded with mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan cheese, seasoned with fresh garlic. This easy recipe creates a savory side dish perfect for sharing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 loaf (13-16 oz) frozen or refrigerated bread dough, thawed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. If using frozen dough, allow it to thaw according to package directions.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and salt. Mix well.
  4. Cut the thawed dough into roughly 1-inch cubes. Place the dough pieces into a large bowl.
  5. Pour the garlic butter mixture over the dough pieces. Toss gently until all pieces are coated.
  6. Sprinkle half of the mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the dough pieces and toss lightly again to distribute.
  7. Transfer the coated dough pieces into the prepared loaf pan or arrange them closely together on the baking sheet.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the top of the dough pieces.
  9. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with the grated Parmesan cheese.
  11. Let the bread cool in the pan for 5 minutes before carefully pulling the pieces apart to serve. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, use a combination of cheeses you enjoy, such as Monterey Jack or Provolone.
  • You can prepare the dough pieces and cheese mixture ahead of time; cover and refrigerate for up to 4 hours before baking.
  • If the top browns too quickly, loosely tent the bread with aluminum foil for the last 10 minutes of baking.
