Ultimate Garlic Parmesan Pull-Apart Bread

🛒 Ingredients

  • 1 large round sourdough or Italian bread loaf

  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella (for epic cheese pulls)

  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

  • Pinch salt

  • Optional: red pepper flakes

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a tray with foil.

  2. Slice the bread in a crosshatch pattern (cut deep but not through the bottom).

  3. Mix butter + garlic + salt + parsley.

  4. Stuff the bread: Spoon garlic butter into every crack. Fill generously with Parmesan and mozzarella.

  5. Wrap loosely in foil and bake 15–20 minutes.

  6. Uncover & bake 5–10 more minutes until top is golden and crispy.

              Serve hot and watch it disappear in minutes.

🔥 Pro Tips (What Makes It “The Best”)

  • Use freshly grated Parmesan (melts better than pre-shredded).

  • Add a thin layer of cream cheese inside for extra richness.

  • Brush a little extra garlic butter on top before the final bake.

  • Finish with a sprinkle of flaky salt for restaurant-style flavor.
