Homemade dough is dipped in butter, herbs and Parmesan cheese, then baked in a loaf pan until golden. This savory bread is the perfect addition to any meal.
If you love a savory bread, loaded with flavors of garlic, herbs and Parmesan cheese, then you’re going to love this Garlic Parmesan Pull-Apart Bread.
It starts with a simple, homemade dough–trust me, it’s super simple and totally worth making from scratch. In fact, you’ve probably seen similar recipes made with refrigerated canned biscuit dough.
Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against canned biscuit dough (except that opening the can scares the heck out of me)! In fact, I use it in our favorite Garlic Knots recipe.
I actually think those canned biscuits are pretty darn good. But of course, homemade is always best, when you have the time and patience to let your dough rise.
And this is a great introductory recipe for novice bread bakers, because pull-apart breads don’t have to look perfect. And with all that butter and garlic, this bread is sure to be delicious!
This recipe does make enough for two full-sized loaves, which my family of hungry boys has no problem devouring. But if you’re not feeding a crowd, you may want to half the recipe.
Plus, this bread is kind of addicting, and you probably don’t want to end up eating a whole loaf yourself.
I love serving this bread alongside our favorite pasta dishes, like spaghetti. It also makes a great light dinner with some marinara sauce for dipping and a green salad on the side.
I’ve found anything you can rip apart and dunk is sauce is always a hit with my kids. Actually, ripping and dunking seems to be a hit with kids of all ages.
My family loves this Garlic Parmesan Pull-Apart Bread. It’s one of those recipes I make often. Not only does it smell wonderful baking, it never fails to please. Enjoy!

Just made them again for the second time and let me say this recipe is amazing. I used garlic powder instead of garlic salt, it’s hard to find the right words on how good these are.
