🧄🧀 Cheesy Garlic Bliss Pull-Apart Bread
Buttery garlic, melty cheese, and soft bread baked into a tear-and-share loaf that disappears fast — perfect for parties, pasta night, or game day.
🧾 Ingredients
-
1 round sourdough loaf (or crusty artisan bread)
-
½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted
-
3–4 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
-
1½ cups shredded mozzarella
-
½ cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack
-
2 tbsp grated Parmesan
-
Pinch salt & black pepper
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Prep the Bread
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Using a serrated knife, cut the loaf in a crosshatch pattern (about 1-inch squares), stopping before you cut all the way through the bottom.
2️⃣ Make Garlic Butter
Mix melted butter, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper.
3️⃣ Fill & Stuff
-
Gently open the cuts and drizzle garlic butter deep into the cracks.
-
Stuff shredded cheeses evenly into all the crevices.
4️⃣ Bake
Wrap loosely in foil and bake 15 minutes.
Unwrap and bake another 8–10 minutes until cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
5️⃣ Serve
Let cool 5 minutes, then pull apart and enjoy warm.
🔥 Pro Tips
-
Add cooked crumbled bacon for extra flavor.
-
Mix in red pepper flakes for heat.
-
For ultra-crispy edges, broil 1–2 minutes at the end (watch closely).
-
Brush extra melted butter on top after baking for shine.

Assemble, wrap tightly, refrigerate up to 24 hours, then bake fresh.
