Discover the ultimate Cheese and Garlic Crack Bread (Pull Apart Bread) recipe—soft, cheesy, and bursting with savory garlic flavor. This irresistible layered bread combines melted mozzarella and cheddar cheese, fresh garlic, and buttery goodness, perfect as an appetizer, snack, or side for any meal.

Ingredients

Bread Base

  • Refrigerated biscuit dough (1 package, about 8-10 biscuits)

Garlic Butter Mixture

  • Butter, melted (1/2 cup or 1 stick)
  • Fresh garlic cloves, minced (3-4 cloves)
  • Salt (1/2 tsp)
  • Black pepper (1/4 tsp)
  • Parsley or Italian seasoning (1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped or 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning)

Cheese

  • Shredded mozzarella cheese (1 cup)
  • Shredded sharp cheddar cheese (1 cup)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the garlic butter mixture: Melt the butter and mix in freshly minced garlic, salt, pepper, and your choice of herbs. This flavorful spread will bring the bread layers to life.
  2. Slice the biscuit dough: Slice each biscuit horizontally into halves or quarters, being careful not to shred them completely, so each piece can hold the garlic butter and cheese.
  3. Layer the bread in the pan: Place the biscuit slices upright in a greased loaf pan, layering generously with garlic butter and shredded cheese blend between each slice for maximum pull-apart effect.
  4. Bake until golden and bubbly: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 25-30 minutes, until the bread is golden, the cheese has melted thoroughly, and the garlic aroma fills your kitchen.
  5. Cool and serve: Allow the bread to cool slightly in the pan, then serve warm for the ultimate cheesy, garlicky experience.

Notes

  • Use room temperature dough to help layers separate easily and bake evenly.
  • Be generous with the garlic butter as it is the key to flavor.
  • Choose a non-stick loaf pan for easy removal and perfect crust development.
  • Experiment with different cheese blends by combining mild and sharp cheeses for complex flavors.
  • Let the bread rest about 5 minutes before serving to allow the cheese to set for cleaner pull-apart pieces.
