Easy To Make Cheesy Garlic Bread
This easy-to-make cheesy garlic pull-apart bread is super fast to throw together and let rise and then bake. I use my trusted white bread recipe and make a loaf of bread at the same time. If I have the mixer out I may as well make more than one thing with the dough, right? This is similar to what my family calls monkey bread, but it is made with garlic, Parmesan cheese, and butter. You have to grab a chunk fast because this bread disappears in a hurry. People love this cheesy garlic bread.
By now you know, I love making bread and teaching others how to make it. This cheesy garlic bread recipe is one of my favorites!
Cheesy Garlic Bread

- 1/4 cup warm water
- 3 to 3-1/2 cups white flour

I start with a Bosch bread mixer, although you could make this in a bowl. I put the yeast, warm water, salt, oil, and sugar in the bowl. I then add the eggs and lightly mix it in the Bosch so the eggs do not “cook”. Then I add the warm milk and flour slowly. I continue to add flour until the bread dough pulls away from the sides of the Bosch bowl. I knead for about 7-8 minutes. I place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap. I let the dough rise until double the size. I punch down the dough and make one loaf of bread and one Bundt pan with cheesy garlic bread. If I have the mess out I always make two of something. Two loaves or one loaf and some cheesy garlic pull apart bread. That’s how I roll in my life. I let it rise once again (using the same plastic wrap) until it doubles in size and then I bake them at 350 degrees for 27-30 minutes.

Instructions for the Bundt pan: grease the pan and sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese in the bottom of the pan. Now make some 1-1/2 inch balls of dough and place the first layer of the balls of dough on the Parmesan cheese (see picture below). Now, put some butter pieces on top of the balls of dough and sprinkle a little garlic powder on top. Sprinkle a little more Parmesan cheese and layer the last row of dough balls on top. Top with any remaining butter and cheese. Let rise covered with greased plastic until double. Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes until golden brown.
Do you love the feel of bread dough as much as I do? Let the baking begin! I hope you enjoy making this cheesy garlic pull-apart bread as much as I do! Enjoy!

Hmmm… looks great, Linda, but not something I could make often per your recipe, so, I have a question for you… have you tried this with cheddar? I have to drive all the way to Cedar to get any parmesan that isn’t basically powder in a shaker bottle. I always have a huge amount of sharp cheddar in my fridge, though. How do you think that would work? It’s a bit greasier than parmesan (maybe omit the butter?), but I make cheese jalapeno bread with it all of the time and it works well in that. I look forward to hearing what you think. Hugs, Mare
Mare, oh man cheddar and jalapeno sound yummy! Maybe try putting less cheddar in the bottom of the pan?? Or skip the cheddar in the bottom all together? It’s really for looks when you turn the bread out of the pan. Oh the parmesan in the shaker is not worth the drive! I would use less cheddar and try that. Merry Christmas girlfriend! Hugs, Linda
Oh, Linda, this sounds fabulous! Next time I’m in town, I’ll be buying some real parm (I’m with Mare, long drive to a “real” store) and making this. Guess I’m going to have to break down and get a bundt pan too (or swipe my mom’s since my dad doesn’t bake). I’m with you, if I’m going to drag stuff out and make a mess, I’m going to double the recipe at least!! Thanks for sharing this fabulous recipe!!
Hi Susan, I buy parmesan cheese and freeze it because I can’t use the whole container from Costco. If your dad isn’t using that bundt pan, grab it! LOL! YOu can make so many things in a bundt pan. Linda
Yummy!
Yay, glad you like it!
