This is garlic bread at it’s finest! This Garlic Cheese Pull Apart Bread is so delicious and so easy thanks to using frozen bread dough! But no one will know your trick and everyone will love it. Who doesn’t love bread that is full of garlic, cheese and yumminess?
I have friends who have never made homemade bread or rolls because the idea of working with yeast scares them to death! They love a fresh loaf of bread or pan of rolls right out of the oven but the thought of having to work with yeast stops them in their tracks. Is that you or someone you know?
Well, if you are that person or you know that person, today’s recipe is for you or them so please share. Now everyone can enjoy a fresh batch of homemade yeast rolls. I promise. Not only are these yeast rolls but they are covered in butter, garlic and cheese. Who could resist!? Yeah, butter, garlic, cheese and fresh baked rolls. Heaven.
Today I’ve got step by step instructions on how to create the most amazing, garlicky, cheesy, gooey yeast rolls you could ask for. The best part? They use frozen roll dough. Yeap – frozen! Everyone can do this.
How to make Garlic Cheese Pull Apart Bread
Allow the frozen dough to sit at room temperature for 45 minutes. Once it has begun to thaw, cut each roll in half with a clean pair of scissors.
Next, pour melted butter and seasonings over the dough. Then add parmesan cheese. Use your hands to gently combine and coat dough. Dough will stick together.
Once the dough is coated, gently pull pieces of dough apart and line the bottom of a 9 inch spring form pan with dough. Cover the dough with remaining grated cheese. Then, allow the pan to sit at room temperature and rise until doubled. It will take about 1 and 1/2 hours.
Once the dough has been allowed to double in size, it is now ready to bake! You will want to place a cookie sheet under your pan or line the outside bottom of the pan with foil in case the butter leaks out of the spring form pan. No one wants to clean up a big mess in the bottom of the oven after baking. Not to mention it might cause the smoke detector to go off!
After baking, it should come out of the oven nice and golden brown on top, just like this.
Warm, delicious, and full of garlic.
The final step is to eat your garlic cheese pull apart bread. Just grab a piece and enjoy!

My rolls were out over nite to rise and I think it was out too long ! I baked and tried a bite! Doesn’t look so good but taste ok! Is it safe to eat? Thanks
Yes, it is safe to eat.
Thank You this I’m trying for Christmas Eve
I don’t have a spring pan, so I use a bunt pan. Works just as well for those who also don’t have a spring pan!
It will work fine.
Hi Leigh Anne,
I found your recipe on a Google search last night. I was looking for something quick and easy for an end of year staff party. Your recipe is the BOMB! My coworkers loved it and several asked me for the recipe. Thank-you!
I did modify the recipe by using 2-12 oz. rolls of Texas Style buttermilk biscuits cut in half. Plus I let them sit at room temp to warm up enough that the melted butter wouldn’t completely solidify. The baking time for the biscuit dough was about 25-30 minutes before the center was fully baked.
Sallee, So glad it was a hit! Thanks for letting me know.
This sounds so good and as we are trying to try new foods for dinner I am going to try this. I have two questions. Can I substitute the garlic and salt with garlic salt and if so how much and can I substitute the Parmesan cheese with shredded cheddar cheese? Thanks, any help would be appreciated.
Donna you can certainly give it a try! Haven’t tried substituting so you may need to play around with the amounts. Enjoy!
So yummy and foolproof! I’ve been making this for awhile, and it’s always a hit at my house.
Hi, I would love to make this for a pot luck at my work. We do not have an oven though. Do you think it would be okay to heat them back up in a toaster oven or microwave? That’s all we have here.
Thanks!
I would try the toaster oven – afraid a microwave would make it soggy.
I make this so often for dinner!! I use Pillsbury flaky rolls, cut them up and add all the spices and butter in a different bowl then put it in the 9″ pan!! So delicious! Thanks so much for the recipe!!
Yum Kelsey! Will have to try it with the flaky rolls. Thanks for sharing.
Is there any way I could use biscuits instead?!
Looks like a great recipe! I actually found it on a google plus group – someone has linked to it, but they linked to it from a different site so I thought you might want to know. http://xny.co/2013/08/garlic-cheese-pull-apart-bread/
