I am not a good baker, but once in while, when I chance upon great baking recipes, I would bookmark them and attempt the recipes at home.
So, when I saw this amazing pull apart garlic bread on Pinterest (please follow me) a few weeks ago, I immediately saved it to one of my boards.
I love garlic bread, especially those warm-off-the-oven, garlicky, buttery, aromatic pull apart garlic bread that I can just easily tear off and munch away.
While I like the regular loaf of garlic bread, sometimes it’s kind of a hassle as I need to slice the garlic bread before eating.
So the pull apart garlic bread works just great for me, as I can just tear it off and eat the bread whenever I like.
I gathered the ingredients and spent some time in the kitchen baking this wonderful pull apart garlic bread. The recipe is adapted from Carmel Moments but I reduced the ingredients into half.
I wanted to make sure that I don’t waste the ingredients in case I fail. The recipe is rather easy and straight forward to follow and fool proof.
A couple of hours in the kitchen and I had the beautiful bread in the kitchen!

How should I store it after baking? In fridge or just in a bag on the counter.

Just in a bag and in the refrigerator if you want to keep for days.

My family LOVED this!! I want to make it again. How far in advance can the dough be made? How long can it be in the refrigerator before being baked? Thank you!!
