Ingredient Notes

Only a few simple ingredients are needed to make this easy side dish! See the printable recipe card below for exact measurements and directions.

• Pillsbury Grands Biscuits: I typically use the regular biscuits, but flaky layers work great too. Refrigerated biscuit dough makes this recipe quick and easy.
• Garlic Powder: Adds great flavor, but fresh minced garlic works too if preferred.
• Italian Seasoning: Gives the bread that classic savory garlic bread flavor.
• Parmesan Cheese: Freshly shredded or grated Parmesan both work well in this recipe.
• Mozzarella Cheese: Optional, but perfect if you want extra cheesy pull apart bread.

Variations & Substitutions

After you've made this recipe once as written, feel free to switch things up and make it your own!

• Add mozzarella cheese for extra cheesy pull or red pepper flakes for a little heat
• Use fresh minced garlic instead of garlic powder if preferred
• Try homemade biscuits in place of canned biscuit dough
• Add cooked bacon or pepperoni for a fun pizza-style twist, like my Pull Apart Pizza Bread

How to Make Garlic Pull-Apart Bread

This easy shortcut recipe comes together in no time! Simply combine the ingredients and bake until golden brown.

Step 1. Preheat oven and melt butter. Stir the seasonings into the melted butter, then pour the garlic butter mixture into a pie plate or loaf pan.

Step 2. Cut the Pillsbury biscuits into quarters using a pizza cutter for an easy shortcut.

Step 3. Place the biscuit dough pieces evenly on top of the butter mixture.

Step 4. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven, carefully flip onto a plate, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, and serve warm!

Tips for Success
