Rosemary Garlic Pull Apart Bread

A soft, flavorful pull apart bread made with a homemade rosemary and garlic-infused yeasted dough, layered with garlic herb butter and cheese, baked until golden and perfect for sharing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 teaspoons instant yeast (Platinum Yeast from Red Star recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (for garlic herb butter)
  • 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped (for garlic herb butter)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (for garlic herb butter)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (optional, for layering)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add melted butter, salt, egg, and half of the flour. Mix until combined.
  3. Add remaining flour, rosemary, and garlic powder. Knead dough until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes.
  4. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled in size, about 1-1.5 hours.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  6. Divide dough into 12 equal pieces and flatten each into a 4-inch circle.
  7. Mix softened butter with rosemary and garlic powder to make garlic herb butter.
  8. Spread garlic herb butter on each dough circle, sprinkle with cheese if using, then fold each circle in half.
  9. Arrange folded dough pieces upright in a greased 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  10. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes until puffy.
  11. Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  12. Cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing and serving warm.

Notes

Using instant yeast ensures a reliable rise and fluffy texture. The garlic herb butter can be adjusted to taste, and adding cheese between layers creates a richer flavor. This bread is best served warm and fresh but can be reheated gently.
