Prep Time 2 hours 30 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 2 hours 45 minutes
Servings 20 -25 rolls
Author Tammy Blankenship

Ingredients

  • 1 and 1/4 cups warm water
  • 2 tablespoons sugar agave, or honey
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 3 to 4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 and 1/4 teaspoons active yeast or instant yeast equal to a packet which is 1/4 ounce
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup very finely shredded Parmesan cheese fresh is best but you can use canned as well

Instructions

By Hand or Mixer:

  1. Mix the water, oil, and agave/honey/sugar.
  2. Add half of the flour, yeast, and salt. (If you are using dry yeast and non-instant, mix yeast with liquids and let sit for 5-10 minutes before adding flour and salt.)
  3. Slowly add the rest of the flour as needed and continue to knead by hand or mixer for 5 to 7 minutes.
  4. Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover with towel and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled.
  5. Cut dough into 20-25 pieces.
  6. Mix melted butter and minced garlic.
  7. Dip dough in butter mixture, roll in Parmesan and drop into 9 x 13 glass pan.
  8. Repeat until all dough is in pan.
  9. Let rise, covered with a cloth, until doubled.
  10. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until lightly golden on top.

Recipe Notes

Bread Machine:
Add the water, oil, and agave/honey/sugar. Cover with flour. On top of flour, place salt and yeast. Turn mixer on dough cycle
Check your dough once it has incorporated all the flour. (If needed, add more flour and let dough finish cycle, or until doubled in size for the initial rise)

Your New Go-To Garlic Parmesan Pull-Apart Bread. Amazing sidekick for any salad or soup!

There is a list a mile long out there of bread recipes to accompany soup or pasta. Which to choose? Whatever. No big deal. But for my family, this Parmesan Pull Apart Bread is a big deal.  Lush, buttery, cheesy, garlicky, bread/rolls that can be thrown together with almost any dough.  Quick, simple, but oh so tasty.  Every piece is moist in the middle but still light and fluffy.

Every pan made at my house quickly disappears without complaints.  Go ahead and give them a try with a batch of pre-made dough if yeasted doughs are not your favorite thing to mess with!

Kitchen items needed for this recipe:

  • 9×13 glass baking pan
  • cooling rack
  • bread machine – we like this Breadman brand as an affordable choice (optional, but nice for helping the dough rise)

    My boyfriend’s family makes this and it is a delight! Only they call it monkey bread. Also they put it in a circular pan instead of a rectangular one. I love it!

      That’s a great idea! You can actually play around with it and and use a lot of different shaped pans – maybe even some fun ones for the different holidays! Thanks for visiting.

    Your mom came into our store yesterday and purchased 4 kilos of our Dos Rios chocolate, 2 kilos for you. I can’t wait to see what you do with it. I hope it looks as delicious at these rolls.

      Mmmmm… I know! It was a great birthday present! I think that and Morobe are two of my favorite kinds. But then I start thinking about Guayas and Ocumare…..well, let’s just say I love them all! Already played around with it yesterday for a chocolate mousse cake of sorts. And I’m already thinking of more yummy desserts for the rest of it. Thanks for making great chocolate!

    I just have to say.. these are like the best rolls EVER! I loved how moist they are but without feeling like a raw-doughy center.. perfection. I am a pretty avid cook and have tried tons and tons of recipes, always experimenting, changing, and seeking for one that i would absolutely love and keep making! I FINALLY found it! Were pretty healthy and try to not eat excessive amounts of bread, but this made it near impossible.. its just my husband and i, and i will be making the normal amount next time, because i halved it last sunday and that was a mistake! Glad I found your blog! Thanks for the new addition to our Sunday dinners!:)

      Thank you that is such a wonderful compliment. So glad you enjoyed them. We are working hard on formatting our recipes for people on all levels to be able to make and appreciate the feedback. I am huge on whole grains because I love bread. However, I too tried dozens of roll recipe before I came up with this one and then transformed it into something savory to pair with soup.

    how in the world is 2.75 hours “quick”? must be nice to live in your world where you have no other responsibilities or commitments.

      Quick is in reference to the prep time. We appreciate your feedback. To keep it low maintenance the dough can be made in the bread machine in advance. After the dough is made, roll it in the garlic butter and then the Parmesan and toss in dish. Spray a piece of saran wrap and cover tightly. When you get home from work, toss in the oven and let it sit in the oven while it warms up. It will also require 5-7 minutes of extra cooking time. If you want to make it even easier, a pre made roll or biscuit dough would work great!

    I’m not sure if you’ll be able to reply to me in time (as I am currently making these now) I’ve arrived at step 9 and i’m wondering approximately how long it should take them to rise to double their size (It’s my first time making bread of any kind so i’m hoping these turn out!)
    Thanks in advance!

      I apologize we did not see your comment. Depends on how warm your kitchen is. They are often ready for me in half hour. Sometimes they can take closer to an hour on the second rise. I hope they turned out well for you!

    Made these tonight for dinner to accompany a chicken and wild rice casserole and salad. SO good! Very easy to follow instructions, and so super delicious! I’m thinking one day I might make up a few pans of these in foil pans and freeze them. So that when I need them I just pull them out, let them rise, and bake for a quick side to meals. Thanks!

    Thank you for this yummy recipe. My husband said, “top-notch” and my very young boys gobbled them up. I also wasn’t sure about how long they would need to rise the second time but thankfully it was in the comments (about 30 mins for us). Thanks again!

    Hi, I am making this and am wondering how you know if it is 3 or 4 cups of flour? Your recipe says 3-4 so not sure what to do but try 3 1/2 cups of flour….

    Reply
    • Tammy says

      October 10, 2015 at 3:23 pm

      Start with 3 cups. Then slowly add more until the dough is slightly tacky. You want to be able to tap the dough quickly with your finger, but not hold it on the dough without sticking.

    This was awesome! My first time making bread. Added some dried parsley to the mix. Might add some garlic powder to the mix next time or some different herbs. Needed more cooking time. Cooked for 30 minutes 160C fan-forced oven. Wonderful. Thanks for a great recipe. Will be having this regularly!

    Made these for the first time tonight to go with sweet and sour pot roast. They were awesome. They did take some time but all bread and rolls are time consuming. So tasty! I’m going to try freezing half since it’s only my hunband and myself. Hopefully they will taste as good afterwards.
