Rosemary Garlic Pull Apart Bread

A flavorful pull apart bread made with a homemade rosemary-infused yeasted dough, layered with garlic herb butter and cheese, baked until golden brown and served pull-apart style.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for garlic herb butter)
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder (for garlic herb butter)
  • 1 tablespoon dried rosemary (for garlic herb butter)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine yeast, sugar, and warm milk. Let rest for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add softened butter, salt, egg, dried rosemary, garlic powder, and flour to the yeast mixture. Mix on low speed until combined, then knead on medium speed for 5-7 minutes until dough is smooth and elastic.
  3. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 to 1.5 hours.
  4. Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
  5. Flatten each piece into a 4-inch circle (does not need to be perfect).
  6. Mix melted butter with garlic powder and dried rosemary to make garlic herb butter.
  7. Spread garlic herb butter on each dough circle, then sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.
  8. Fold each circle in half and arrange upright in a greased 9×5-inch loaf pan, packing them tightly together.
  9. Cover and let the dough rise again until puffy, about 30-45 minutes.
  10. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  11. Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  12. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving pull-apart style.

Notes

This bread is best served warm for easy pulling apart. You can substitute mozzarella with other cheeses like cheddar or parmesan for different flavors. Using instant yeast ensures a reliable rise and soft texture.
