Garlic Pull Apart Bread Recipe FAQs
Yes! Pillsbury Grands biscuits work great for this recipe and make it quick and easy to prepare.
This usually happens if the biscuit pieces are packed too tightly or need a few extra minutes to bake through.

Followed directions and final results were raw

If the biscuits aren’t cooked through, cover with foil for about 5-10 minutes to allow the center to cook through without the top burning. Hope that helps.
Rick G says
Add the cheese then put it under the broiler for a couple mins to make a nice crispy bread.
Kristin says
Yum!! Great suggestion, I will have to try that next time!!
Bernie Young says
wonder if I could just use one can of biscuits and put it in a smaller plate, that is to much for 2 people
Kristin says
Sure! You could put this in a loaf pan, even a mini loaf pan!!

I think I may add the butter mixture as each layer is placed next time 🙂
Kristin says
Great idea! That would ensure each bite is coated entirely, which of course, is even better, haha!!
