Cheesy Garlic Bubble Bread is a pull-apart loaf made of soft dough balls infused with garlic butter and layered with melted cheese. It’s golden, gooey, and perfect for sharing as a side, appetizer, or snack.

Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast
  • 1 cup warm water or milk (about 110°F/43°C)
  • 1 tbsp sugar or honey
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 4 tbsp butter, melted
  • 3–4 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder)
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or 1 tsp dried parsley
  • 2 cups grated cheese (mozzarella, or a mix with cheddar/parmesan)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (optional)
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning or mixed herbs (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine warm water (or milk), yeast, sugar, salt, and 1 cup of the flour. Gradually add the remaining flour until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
  2. Knead the dough for 5–7 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rest until slightly puffy (about 30–45 minutes).
  3. Meanwhile, melt the butter and stir in minced garlic and herbs to make the garlic-butter mixture.
  4. Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Cut into small pieces and roll into 60–70 small balls.
  5. Dip each dough ball in the garlic-butter mixture, then layer them in a greased bundt or loaf pan. Sprinkle cheese between layers and on top.
  6. Cover and let the dough rise until very puffy (45–60 minutes).
  7. Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Bake for 30–35 minutes, until golden brown and cheese is bubbling.
  8. Remove from oven, cool slightly, then turn out and serve warm. Pull apart to enjoy!

Notes

  • You can substitute different cheeses for varied flavor — try cheddar, gouda, or parmesan.
  • For extra garlic flavor, increase garlic or add garlic powder to the dough.
  • Serve with marinara or garlic butter dip for added indulgence.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat before serving.
  • Can be made ahead and baked later after refrigeration.
