Make this easy, cheesy pull-apart bread using soft dinner rolls coated in rich garlic Parmesan butter and baked until golden.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 refrigerated soft dinner rolls (like Hawaiian or yeast rolls)
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, divided

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan or a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create the garlic butter.
  3. Take each dinner roll and cut it in half horizontally, or simply tear it into quarters if using small rolls. You want pieces that are easy to pull apart later.
  4. Place the roll pieces into a large bowl. Pour the garlic butter mixture over the rolls. Toss gently until all the pieces are evenly coated.
  5. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of the Parmesan cheese over the coated rolls and toss again lightly.
  6. Transfer the buttered roll pieces into the prepared baking pan, arranging them somewhat randomly so they touch.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the bread pieces.
  8. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the bread is heated through, the cheese is melted, and the top is lightly golden brown.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm directly from the pan for easy pulling.

Notes

  • You can use store-bought garlic powder if you do not have fresh garlic, using 1 teaspoon of powder instead of 6 cloves.
  • For extra moisture, you can add 1/4 cup of melted mozzarella cheese along with the Parmesan in the last 5 minutes of baking.
  • If you prefer a crispier top, place the pan under the broiler for the last 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
