Ingredients
Scale
Bread Dough
- 1 batch of bread dough (about 3 cups all-purpose flour dough)
Garlic Herb Butter
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Garlic Herb Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with the minced garlic and chopped rosemary. Mix well to infuse the flavors.
- Coat the Dough: Divide the bread dough into equal portions (about 12 pieces). Dip or brush each piece thoroughly with the garlic herb butter mixture, ensuring every piece is well coated.
- Stack in Pan: Arrange the buttered dough pieces tightly in a greased loaf pan, stacking them so the small pieces layer together to create a pull-apart texture.
- Bake the Bread: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the stacked dough for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread turns golden brown on top and sounds hollow when tapped.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the bread from the oven, let it cool slightly in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm and enjoy pulling apart the flavorful pieces.
Notes
- Use fresh rosemary for best flavor, but dried rosemary can be used if fresh is unavailable (reduce quantity).
- Ensure the bread dough is soft but firm enough to hold shape when stacked.
- Serve as a side with soups, salads, or pasta dishes.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days; reheat gently before serving.
- Feel free to add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese on top before baking for an extra savory touch.
