This Garlic Herb Cheddar Pull-Apart Bread is a showstopper with soft, fluffy bread, garlic herb butter, and gooey cheddar cheese—perfect for sharing or enjoying on your own.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Pre-made bread dough
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • Pinch of salt
  • Olive oil for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough: If using pre-made dough, let it come to room temperature. If making your own dough, follow your recipe and let it rise until doubled in size.
  2. Make the garlic herb butter: In a bowl, mix 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter with the minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley, 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Shred the cheese: Grate 1 1/2 cups of cheddar cheese and set aside.
  4. Score the bread: Roll out the dough into a rectangle and use a sharp knife to cut slits about halfway into the dough, creating a grid pattern.
  5. Add the fillings: Brush the garlic herb butter generously over the dough, making sure it gets into all the cuts. Sprinkle the cheddar cheese evenly across the surface, pressing it into the grooves.
  6. Shape the loaf: Fold the dough into a loaf shape, tucking in the edges to keep the cheese and butter inside.
  7. Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the loaf in a greased baking dish and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
  8. Cool slightly: Let the bread rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

[‘Use room-temperature ingredients for easier preparation.’, ‘Don’t skip the scoring step to ensure even distribution of garlic butter and cheese.’, ‘Cover the loaf loosely with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking if the top starts to brown too quickly.’, ‘Grate your own cheese for better melting.’, ‘Serve warm for the best experience.’]
