EASY GARLIC AND HERB PULL-APART LOAF
This Easy Garlic and Herb Pull-Apart Loaf makes for a quick dinner side or even a snack. Since we use store-bought biscuits for this loaf and very few ingredients, it can be made in just a few minutes time.
My family absolutely loves bread. My kids often whip up homemade bread just to have a snack. One of our favorite side dishes is the CopyCat Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits, which we make quite frequently.
Pull-apart bread has recently gained popularity, possibly due to the fun of simply pulling off a piece. While you can make these loaves from scratch, I often don’t have the time for that. This recipe is wonderfully simple, with no need to wait for dough to rise or to gather a multitude of ingredients from the pantry.
Garlic bread is a universal favorite, and I like to serve a loaf with most meals. The flavor in this Easy Garlic and Herb Pull-Apart Loaf is incredible. I used both Parmesan cheese and sharp cheddar, but you can skip the cheese if you prefer a more basic garlic loaf.
My family devoured an entire loaf in just a few minutes and requested two loaves next time, which is quite the compliment! They loved the flavors and wanted more.
It’s worth noting that the ingredient picture shows two cans of Grands! Flaky Layers Biscuits, but I only used one can. The ingredients are delightfully simple. I used garlic, basil, and oregano, though you can add your favorite herbs if you prefer. The herbs I chose worked perfectly.
