Ingredients
Scale
Bread Base:
- 1 can (16 ounces/454 grams) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 pound (454 grams) homemade dough
Cheese and Seasonings:
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Wet Ingredients and Herbs:
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Transform refrigerated biscuits or homemade dough into bite-sized morsels by slicing each round into four equal wedges, ensuring uniform sizing for consistent baking.
- Create a flavor-packed coating by combining warm, golden melted butter with aromatic minced garlic, a sprinkle of sea salt, freshly cracked black pepper, vibrant Italian seasoning, and finely grated Parmesan cheese in a spacious mixing vessel.
- Gently tumble the quartered dough pieces through the seasoned butter mixture, guaranteeing each morsel becomes thoroughly enrobed with the savory blend, allowing the herbs and cheese to cling delicately to the surface.
- Methodically arrange the butter-coated dough fragments into a generously greased bundt pan or tall-sided baking dish, creating an artful, interlocking pattern that promises easy pull-apart enjoyment.
- Preheat the oven to the specified temperature and position the prepared pan in the center, allowing the bread to transform into a golden, crispy-edged delicacy with a soft, pillowy interior.
- Bake until the top turns a rich, amber-bronze color and the edges become tantalizingly crisp, indicating the bread has reached optimal doneness.
- Remove from the oven and let the bread rest momentarily, then invert onto a serving platter, revealing the tempting, interconnected layers ready for eager hands to pull apart and savor.
Notes
- Avoid overworking the dough when cutting or shaping to keep the bread light and fluffy.
- Use room temperature butter for better coating and more even flavor distribution across the bread pieces.
- Sprinkle extra Parmesan cheese on top before baking for a crispier, more golden crust that adds delightful texture.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute regular biscuit dough with gluten-free biscuit mix or pre-made gluten-free dough.
