Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 (16-ounce) can refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count, or homemade dough)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (plus more for garnish)
Wet Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a bundt pan or a 9×5-inch loaf pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Prepare biscuit pieces: Cut each biscuit into quarters to create bite-sized pieces for even coating and baking.
- Mix coating ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, chopped parsley, shredded mozzarella, and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until well mixed.
- Coat biscuit pieces: Add the biscuit quarters to the bowl with the cheese and herb mixture. Gently toss the pieces to coat each piece evenly with the buttery, cheesy mixture.
- Assemble in pan: Layer the coated biscuit pieces evenly into the prepared pan, spreading them out so they bake uniformly. Sprinkle any remaining cheese mixture over the top for extra cheesy goodness.
- Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown on top and cooked through in the center.
- Cool and serve: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes. Then invert the pan onto a serving plate to release the pull-apart bread. Garnish with additional fresh parsley and serve warm.
Notes
- Serve this pull-apart bread with marinara sauce or ranch dressing for dipping to enhance the flavor.
- For a crispier crust, continue baking uncovered for a few extra minutes.
- Try adding cooked crumbled bacon or pepperoni for a flavorful twist.
