5 Secrets to 20 Minute Dinners!
Tips, tricks, and recipes for dinner in a hurry!
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!

Pull Apart Garlic Bread
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (softened)
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups bread flour
Topping:
- 4 tablespoons butter (melted)
- 1 pinch salt
- some finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
- 2 cloves garlic (finely minced)
Instructions
- Add warm water to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with dough hook. Sprinkle sugar and yeast into the water. Let stand 5-10 minutes until foamy. Mix in butter, milk, salt and stir in the flour gradually. Knead for 7-10 minutes. Dough should stick to the bottom of the bowl but clears sides. Divide dough into 2 equal portions.
- In a small bowl, combine the butter, salt, parsley leaves, and garlic. Cut dough into small round pieces and dip into the butter mixture. Arrange the dough balls into two mini loaf pan or one regular loaf pan. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Reserve the leftover butter mixture.
- Bake at 350°F (176°C) for 30 minutes or until golden brown. Baste the butter mixture on the pull-apart garlic bread after they are out of the oven.

This says serves 2. Does that mean 2 full loaf pans?
May I know do I need use bread softener in order for the bread to become soft and tender ?
I have not made it yet, but sounds better than regular method of preparing garlic bread, which you have to buy or bake the bread, slice and minced the garlic and all that jazz! Faster and I bet it is delicious! Thank you for the fresh idea!.
Just making these. Do you cover with plastic or just a towel?
Towel.
Do you use 8″ x 4″ loaf pans or something smaller?
Yes regular loaf pan.
This is delicious, quick ( aside from proofing) and easy. Made it first time was so impressed- can’t imagine I’ll buy shop bought again. Light and fluffy and yummy! I added more garlic, about 5 cloves all together and I also added a bit of onion powder and garlic powder to the flour.
Thank you for this reciepe.
