A cheesy pull apart bread with layers of melted cheese encased in soft, fluffy dough, baked to golden perfection, perfect for sharing.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 45 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water with a pinch of sugar. Let it sit until frothy, about 5 minutes.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Add the yeast mixture, milk, and melted butter. Knead until smooth and elastic.
  3. Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  4. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish.
  5. On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a large rectangle. Spread the shredded cheeses evenly over the dough.
  6. Cut the dough into strips, then stack and cut into small squares.
  7. Arrange the cheese-filled dough squares in the prepared baking dish, stacking them loosely to allow for expansion.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and bubbly. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, sprinkle garlic powder or Italian seasoning over the cheese layers.
  • Ensure the dough is room temperature for proper rising.
