Cheesy Herb Pull-Apart Bread Loaf

Description

This Cheesy Herb Pull-Apart Bread is golden on the outside, soft and fluffy inside, and packed with melty cheese and herbs in every slice. It’s the kind of crowd-pleasing bread that disappears fast at parties, yet it’s easy enough to make on a weeknight. Prep takes about 10 minutes, and the oven does the rest.

Ingredients

  • 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough

  • 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • 3 tbsp butter, melted

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped (or 1 tsp dried)

  • ½ tsp salt

  • ½ tsp black pepper

  • ½ tsp Italian seasoning (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven
    Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard loaf pan.

  2. Prepare biscuits
    Cut each biscuit into quarters.

  3. Mix coating
    In a bowl, combine melted butter, garlic, parsley, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

  4. Assemble loaf
    Toss biscuit pieces in butter mixture. Layer them in the loaf pan, sprinkling mozzarella and cheddar evenly between layers.

  5. Bake
    Bake uncovered for 35–40 minutes, until the top is golden and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

  6. Rest & serve
    Let rest for 5 minutes. Pull apart and serve warm.

Notes

  • Cheese melts between layers, creating a soft, pull-apart texture.

  • Resting briefly helps the loaf hold together when slicing or pulling.

Tips for Best Results

  • Cover loosely with foil if the top browns too quickly.

  • Use freshly shredded cheese for best melting.

  • Add a light brush of butter after baking for extra shine and flavor.
