And garlic bread pairs wonderfully with just about everything, so you can decide on the full menu later. Plus, who doesn’t like garlic bread? This recipe is a permanent crowd pleaser guaranteed to be a hit wherever you take it.

Recipe Ingredients

1. Bread Dough – Flour, yeast, warm water, milk, and butter make the enriched dough in this recipe soft and fluffy.
2. Herbs and Spices – Of course, you’ll need garlic powder for this recipe but don’t forget the minced rosemary. It complements the garlic beautifully and really takes this bread to the next level.
3. Toppings – Butter, fresh parsley, minced garlic, and parmesan cheese are the icing on the cake, so to speak. Seriously though, the topping brings this bread to life! Don’t skip it. 😉

How to Make Pull-Apart Garlic Bread Rolls

The Dough

• Activate the Yeast – Mix warm water and yeast in a standing mixer or large bowl. Let it rest until the yeast dissolves (about 5 minutes).
• Liquid Ingredients – Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine milk, melted butter, sugar, salt, garlic powder, and minced rosemary. Stir until everything is well-mixed.
• Combine – Next, pour the milk mixture into the yeast mixture and mix thoroughly.
• Flour – Add about 3 1/4 cups of flour and continue mixing dough.
• Knead – Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead for about 6-8 minutes or until the dough is nice and smooth.
• Rise – Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning once to coat the dough. Cover loosely with a clean cloth and let rise in a warm place for 1½ to 2 hours or until doubled.

The Rolls

• Form Rolls – Punch the dough down and place it on a clean flat surface or board. Next, divide the dough into 20-24 pieces, and roll to form even balls.
• Grease and Wait – As you roll each ball of dough, place it into a greased 9×13-inch pan or baking sheet. Cover with a clean cloth and let rise in a warm place for about 20 minutes or until the rolls double in size.
• Bake – Finally, brush the rolls with egg wash. Bake rolls at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Garlic Butter – For the Garlic butter, mix the melted butter with the parsley leaves and minced garlic.
• Brush the Rolls – Remove rolls from the oven, immediately brush with garlic butter, and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
• Melt Cheese – Finally, put them back in the oven for 5 minutes for the cheese to melt.
• Serve – Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.

Tips and Tricks

1. If your dough is too sticky while you knead, you can add additional flour little by little to make a more manageable, soft dough. However, use less flour rather than more. Because if you overdo it, the dough will become too dense.
2. If you want all the rolls to be exactly the same size, use a food scale to measure their weight as you roll them out. Another easy way is to use a ½ or ⅓ cup measuring cup to measure the dough.
3. To prevent your rolls from burning on the bottom, put the baking pan on top of a cookie sheet while baking.

Make-Ahead Instructions

Let’s be real; baked bread is best fresh out of the oven. But you can bake this bread the day before you want to serve it. Just store it on the countertop in an airtight container.

You can also freeze these rolls for three months. Then, for best results, thaw them out on the counter for about 30 minutes before reheating. Or you can let the rolls rise, then partially bake them before freezing. Thaw in the fridge overnight and finish baking them for a fresh-from-the-oven treat.

Serving and Storage Instructions

Serve these rolls hot, and it will be unlikely you will have any leftovers! It’s hard to say no to fresh-from-the-oven bread. 😅

If you end up with leftovers somehow, you can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 days, no longer. Alternatively, you can freeze leftover rolls to save them for later.

To reheat frozen garlic bread rolls, thaw them out and pop them in a 350℉/177℃ oven for about 10 minutes. You could also reheat individual rolls in the air fryer at 350℉/177℃ for a couple of minutes. A microwave is an option, but it tends to toughen the bread.

FAQs

What to Serve With Pull-Apart Garlic Bread Rolls

Um, everything. 😆 But here are my top suggestions: Firstly, soups! Try this bread when you make broccoli cheese soup, French onion soup, or cream of mushroom soup. Or you could serve it with your family’s favorite pasta like baked ziti or beef stroganoff.

Pull-apart garlic bread is also great for dipping, so consider serving it with some kind of sauce. I like to eat it with roasted red pepper sauce or even homemade pizza sauce, which has that lovely marinara tang.
