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
-
Preheat oven
Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard loaf pan. -
Prepare biscuits
Cut each biscuit into quarters. -
Mix coating
In a bowl, combine melted butter, garlic, parsley, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. -
Assemble loaf
Toss biscuit pieces in butter mixture. Layer them in the loaf pan, sprinkling mozzarella and cheddar evenly between layers. -
Bake
Bake uncovered for 35–40 minutes, until the top is golden and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. -
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.
