The even better thing than sliced bread.
You know how when people really like something, they call it “The greatest thing since sliced bread”? Well, I never could see what’s all that great about sliced bread. It’s handy for sandwiches, sure. But it’s not nearly as much fun as pull apart bread.
Pull apart bread is a great party appetizer that’s like a bunch of little individual rolls baked together into one big loaf. You can make the loaf any shape you want – I used a Bundt pan here to make a ring shape. Then instead of slicing it, you just grab the piece you want and pull, and a perfect portion comes off right in your hand, piping hot and delicious.
Pull apart bread is incredibly easy to make. All you need is some refrigerated biscuit dough, melted butter, and your favorite toppings. You can use bacon, cheddar, chives – whatever floats your boat. Just roll the biscuits into little balls, dip them in butter, top them, and add them to the pan. No kneading, no rolling, no rising – just fill up a pan with little dough balls and bake them all together.
You can even make one loaf with lots of different flavors, so everyone at your party can have their favorite. For this loaf, I used mozzarella cheese, dry ranch dressing, mixed Italian herbs, and garlic, and they all get along fine together.
Serve Easy Cheesy Pull Apart Bread hot with a nice marinara sauce on the side for dipping. I promise you, no one will ask for sliced bread instead.

Jenny says
Looks yummy! Do you completely coat the rolls in melted butter? Could I use a 9×13 pan instead? Thank you 🙂
Corey says
Yes Jenny, coat the whole ball. I found it easiest to brush it on. That butter helps the toppings stick. I am sure this would would work ok in a pan. Just watch your cooking times, I think you would have to reduce it.
Jean says
I tried making this in a bundt pan exactly as instructed in recipe, and even after 25 minutes in 350 oven, it was still raw dough all over inside. I removed from bundt pan, tore it apart and placed on a cookie sheet to finish baking in the oven. Next time I will use a 9×13 pan. The flavor was wonderful and I will make again, but not in a bundt pan.
Pat Cody says
Well, the recipe does say to cook it 30-35 minutes so I guess I wouldn’t be surprised that it was still doughy at 25 minutes. Why wouldn’t you just cook it 10 more minutes? And cover it with foil as instructed if it’s getting too brown?
Carolyn says
Is there any way you can make this recipe a few hours ahead of time and warm it up when you’re ready to serve?
Corey says
Yes! I do that most time I make these to take to an event.
jacqueline says
Can you make this the night before and then Bake it the next day?
Corey says
I wouldn’t recommend that. Maybe cook them and reheat them the next day if you are low on time.
Kathleen Chronert says
I made this waiting for it to come out of the oven,can’t wait sounds yummy
Smith says
IM IN LOVE WITH THIS RECIPE 😍 !!! My ten-year-old made it, and it was FABULOUS!
Smith again- says
She made half and the cooking times are shorter, about 15-10 Just a note for anyone looking to make half!
Janice says
The biscuits you started with look like they already have cheddar in them. Do they
Corey says
Nope. They are just regular biscuits.

Made with my favorite spaghetti and meatball recipe
