Cheesy Pull-Apart Bread Ingredients
- Homemade Yeast Roll Dough – Or raw frozen and thawed yeast dough balls – This is going to make the recipe just that much more delicious!
- Land O Lakes® White Deli American – Cheese that binds the bread and creates that amazing melted strings when pulling apart the bread.
- Land O Lakes® Salted Butter – Making sure that it’s salted because we want that extra seasoning, and that buttery goodness that you get on top of most steakhouse rolls.
- Grated Parmesan Cheese – Adds a little extra cheese flavoring with a little bit of nuttiness in the taste.
- Italian Seasoning – Aids in the garlic bread flavoring by adding rosemary, basil, thyme, oregano, and sage.
- Garlic Powder – This really is the glue that ties it all the ingredients together and makes the flavor profile jump to another level.
Cheesy Garlic Pull-Apart Bread from Scratch
To make this addictive 6-Ingredient Cheesy Garlic Pull-Apart Bread Recipe, start with thawed yeast roll dough balls. Cut the balls into quarters, then dunk them in garlic butter and lay them in a large skillet. (You could also start with homemade yeast roll dough!)
Allow the dough to quick-rise in a 200 degree oven for 15 minutes.
Then tuck Land O Lakes® White Deli American cheese squares down in between the bread sections. This not only coats the sides of each piece in cheesy goodness; it makes them easy to pull apart.
