Garlic Cheese Pull Apart Bread

Pull Apart Bread

I have friends who have never made homemade bread or rolls because the idea of working with yeast scares them to death! They love a fresh loaf of bread or pan of rolls right out of the oven but the thought of having to work with yeast stops them in their tracks. Is that you or someone you know?

Well, if you are that person or you know that person, today’s recipe is for you or them so please share. Now everyone can enjoy a fresh batch of homemade yeast rolls. I promise. Not only are these yeast rolls but they are covered in butter, garlic and cheese. Who could resist!? Yeah, butter, garlic, cheese and fresh baked rolls. Heaven. Today I’ve got step by step instructions on how to create the most amazing, garlicy, cheesy, gooey yeast rolls you could ask for. The best part? They use frozen roll dough. Yeap – frozen! Everyone can do this.

The steps are easy!

Cheesy Pull Apart Garlic Rolls Step One: After allowing the frozen dough to sit at room temperature for 45 minutes cut each roll in half with a clean pair of scissors. Step Two: Pour melted butter and seasonings over dough Step Three: Add Parmesan cheese Step Four: Use your hands to gently combine and coat dough. Dough will stick together. How to make pull apart bread Step Five: Gently pull piece of dough apart and line the bottom of a 9 inch spring form pan with dough and cover with remaining grated cheese. Step Six: Allow to sit at room temperature and rise until double – about 1 1/2 hours. It is now ready to bake!! You will want to either place a cookie sheet under it or line the bottom of the pan with foil as the butter may leak out from the spring form pan while baking and make a big mess in the bottom of your oven, causing your smoke detector to go off and your alarm company to call and see if your house is on fire! Then it comes out of your oven looking like this! how to make pull apart garlic rollsOoey, gooey and full of garlic. Cheesy Garlic Bread with frozen bread dough The next step is to eat and enjoy. Just grab a piece! Cheesy Garlic Bread with frozen bread dough Recipe adapted from Melissa’s Southern Style Kitchen Cheesy Garlic Bread with frozen bread dough

    I made these last night for dinner, and they were amazing!! I used a 9 inch round disposable aluminum pan, and only a sprinkle of parm on top. Once it was baked and cooled a bit, I scored the top into squares and stuffed shredded mozzerella cheese into the cuts. Covered it with tin foil and put in back into the oven until it was melted.
    HEAVEN!!

    Hi! I want to make these for my brother and his wife who just had a baby. I saw a comment about whether or not this would work making ahead of time.
    Anyone try that?
    Also, the recipe calls for grated but the pictures show shredded parm. What works best?

    I bet you could get by with half the butter too…they seem greasy.

  7. Avatar for Leigh AnneCherrie says

    June 10, 2014 at 4:17 pm

    Just did it! Viola!

    OK…I think they are super salty. Next time I will not use any additional salt, and may use unsalted butter. One cup of Parmesan makes them PLENTY salty.

    I too struggled with having the center not be done. Having read about it, I was watching. After the 20 min mark, I covered with foil as the edges were getting brown and the center was raw. At the 25 min mark, I dropped the oven down to 300 and added 10 min…then 10 more, then left them in the pan because the instructions do not say weather or not to remove them from the pan now or later, or on a rack or what.

    They seem done, but as they cooled the center sunk…like half the size of the outer edge. That doesn’t effect the taste but sort of dampens the wow factor.

    I also see no reason (since I had to borrow a spring form pan) not to use a 13×9 inch baking dish like I do for ordinary dinner rolls. I may see what that’s like next time…because there WILL be a next time :-)

    I think I’ll also add dill and dehydrated, minced onion to the spice mix.

    What a great idea. It’s just going to take some practice to figure out the magic of getting them evenly done.

    These are rising as I write. So easy and I bet they will be fantastic.

    Like some other commenters, I’ve had trouble before with cooking homemade dinner rolls with the inside not being done and the outside being too done. You have to monkey around with lowering temps, adjusting rack heights until you get it right for your own oven. They sure aren’t all the same. Or sometimes, when I know the middle needs more but the top/bottom/sides are where I want them, I turn off the oven and let the remaining heat help out the center by just leaving them in the oven as it cools.

    I’ll be posting a link on my blog to this recipe on your blog. Usually I make my own WW bread, dill bread, lavender bread and dinner rolls, but ya know, there are times when it’s OK to use frozen roll dough…nobody’s gonna die…to me the simplicity of this recipe is more of an attraction than anything else…something I can do when I want to make something groovy but really don’t feel like doing the whole sha-bang.

    Looking forward to trying it! Oh…wouldn’t dill be good in this!?

    I love your recipes. You post the most yummiest recipes ever. I would love for you to just keep posting them. And the weather here in New Orleans isn’t all that bad. It’s cool and a little rainy. But from what I’m hearing on the news about the weather in the rest of the Country, with it’s below 10 and all, I think we’re pretty lucky.

    OMG. I have these in the oven and currently my smoke detectors are all going off. I came running downstairs, saw the mess in the bottom of eye oven and got on here to say that someone was an idiot for the springform pan thing. Then took a closer look at directions and IM the idiot! LOL. So if you make this, DON’T FORGET THE FOIL!!!!! ;)

    • Avatar for Leigh AnneLeigh [email protected] says

      August 25, 2013 at 3:04 pm

      Sorry for the delay in responding to your comment. The problem with a round cake pan is that the sides aren’t high enough for when the dough rises, and layering the dough.

    This is so easy and so good. I didn’t have frozen rolls on hand so I used 2 frozen bread loaves cut into 16 pieces each. The first time I made it I had some trouble like others did with it not being done in the center so the second time I made it I divided it into two 8″ round cake pans and baked it about 20 minutes. Perfection! And a pan to share with a friend! Thanks for the recipe.

    This was delicious. I used fresh pizza dough and fresh garlic. Came out so good. Didn’t need to alter the time or temperature. But coating the bits in the butter needs to be done in two batches since the fresh dough sticks more easily.

    Questions: first, I made this and we loved it but…..no one in our house likes Parmesan cheese so I used mozzarella and it wasn’t very “cheesy.” Any thoughts on that? Second, I’d like to try this using fresh garlic instead of garlic powder – again, any thoughts on that? Thanks for this amazing recipe!!!!!

    • Avatar for Leigh AnneLeigh [email protected] says

      February 14, 2013 at 7:14 am

      I think fresh garlic would be wonderful and as far as the cheese I would just experiment with the different types of cheeses your family likes – do they like romano? or pecorino?

    I made recipe exactly according to directions and steps but all the dough on the inside center of the spring pan was not even cooked, still just balls of dough ,halfway down and to the bottom. I even put it back in for 10 mins but then the tops started to get really dark so I took it back out. Inside still not done…. what did I do wrong? Loved the taste, we just ate the outside parts LOL any suggestions?

    • Avatar for Leigh AnneLeigh [email protected] says

      February 14, 2013 at 7:16 am

      Your oven may bake a little hotter. Next time cover it with foil when you put it back in to prevent the top from getting too dark. You also might want to try it in a bundt pan instead of a springform pan for more even baking.

    Good morning!! I’m so honored you re-made my recipe, and what a beautiful job you did! I’ve made this bread in all sorts of shapes, but, honestly, side by side in a springform pan is my most favorite. Can’t beat that crispy, golden crust! Thank you for mentioning the origin of my recipe, and giving me credit, too! ☺ Blessings ~ Melissa
