Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 can frozen biscuit dough (about 8 biscuits)
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 3–4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 cups shredded cheese mix (cheddar and mozzarella blend)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Garlic Butter Mixture: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat, then stir in the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Let it simmer gently for a couple of minutes until the garlic softens and the flavors meld together beautifully.
  2. Cut and Prepare the Biscuit Dough: Open the frozen biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into quarters. This manageable size makes it easy to layer and pull apart once baked.
  3. Layer the Dough and Cheese: Dip each dough piece into the warm garlic butter, then layer them in a greased bundt or loaf pan, sprinkling shredded cheese between the layers to ensure cheesy pockets throughout the bread.
  4. Bake Until Golden: Bake the layered dough in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes until it’s puffed, golden on top, and the cheese has melted into gooey goodness.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for a few minutes before turning it out. Serve warm, letting everyone enjoy the satisfying pleasure of pulling soft, cheesy pieces apart.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic for a sharper, vibrant flavor.
  • Don’t overbake; bake just until golden and bubbly to keep bread soft and tender.
  • Combine sharper and milder cheeses for deeper flavor.
  • Be generous with cheese and garlic butter layers for maximum flavor.
  • Allow bread to cool slightly before serving to maintain shape and avoid burns.
