Description
Soft, buttery Garlic Pull-Apart Bread made from scratch. It’s an easy, flavor-packed recipe that makes two loaves perfect for sharing or freezing.
Ingredients
- 2 – 0.25 ounce packages active dry yeast
- ¼ cup warm water (110°-115°F)
- 2 cups warm whole milk (110°-115°F)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons salted butter (softened)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 6 ¼ – 6 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup salted butter (melted)
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic salt
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
Instructions
- Grease 2 9×5-inch loaf pans. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, stir yeast into warm water to dissolve.
- Add the milk, sugar, 2 tablespoons butter, salt and 2 cups flour. Mix until combined.
- Add remaining flour ¼ cup at a time until it forms a soft dough. You may not need to use all of the flour.
- Turn out on a floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes.
- Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top of the dough.
- Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch dough down.
- Turn onto a lightly floured surface, and divide the dough into fourths.
- Divide each of the four pieces of dough into 12 pieces.
- To make the garlic butter, stir together the ½ cup melted butter, parsley, garlic powder, garlic salt, and minced garlic in a shallow bowl.
- Shape each piece of dough into a ball.
- Dip each ball of dough into the butter mixture.
- Place half of the dough into one prepared pan. Repeat with the remaining half of the dough.
- Pour any remaining butter mixture over the dough.
- Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
- Toward the end of the rising time, preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Bake for about 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown and baked through. If the bread browns too quickly, tent with aluminum foil.
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
- Remove from pans to wire racks, and serve warm.
