Description

This Roasted Garlic Parmesan Herb Pull-Apart Bread is a savory, soft loaf bursting with the rich flavors of roasted garlic, parmesan cheese, and aromatic herbs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 heads of garlic
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1/3 cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup finely grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the tops off the garlic heads to expose the cloves, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Wrap in foil and roast for about 30-35 minutes until the cloves are soft and caramelized. Let cool, then squeeze out the roasted garlic paste.
  2. In a small saucepan, warm the milk, butter, and water until the butter melts and the mixture is warm to the touch (not hot). In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. Add the milk mixture, eggs, and roasted garlic paste to the dry ingredients. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook on medium speed for about 6-7 minutes.
  5. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for approximately 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  6. In a small bowl, combine the softened 6 tablespoons of butter, dried basil, oregano, rosemary, garlic powder, and grated parmesan cheese. Mix well to form a flavorful herb butter spread.
  7. Punch down the risen dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle roughly 9×13 inches. Cut the dough into squares or strips suitable for layering.
  8. Generously spread the herb butter mixture between the layers or on each cut piece, stacking or layering them in a greased 9×5-inch loaf pan to create the pull-apart effect.
  9. Cover the assembled loaf with a towel and allow it to rise again in a warm place for 30-45 minutes until puffy.
  10. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the loaf for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown on top and cooked through (an internal temperature of about 190°F is ideal). If the top browns too quickly, tent with foil partway through baking.
  11. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing it to a wire rack. Serve warm, pulling apart pieces as desired.
