Ingredients

Scale

Bread and Garlic

  • 1 loaf of bread dough
  • 1 head of garlic
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Cheese and Seasoning Mixture

  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for roasting the garlic and baking the bread.
  2. Roast Garlic: Cut the top off the head of garlic, drizzle it with olive oil, wrap it tightly in foil, and roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until soft and caramelized.
  3. Prepare Dough: While the garlic is roasting, cut the bread dough into evenly sized pieces, ready to be filled.
  4. Make Garlic Paste: Once the garlic has cooled enough to handle, squeeze the soft cloves out of their skins into a bowl and mash them into a smooth paste.
  5. Mix Cheese and Seasoning: Combine the mashed roasted garlic with shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper in a bowl, mixing well to create a flavorful stuffing.
  6. Stuff Dough Pieces: Take each piece of dough and stuff it generously with the garlic and cheese mixture.
  7. Assemble in Pan: Arrange the stuffed dough pieces into a bundt pan, then drizzle any remaining olive oil over the top for extra moisture and crispiness.
  8. Bake Bread: Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes until the bread is golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Cool and Serve: Allow the pull-apart bread to cool slightly before serving, making it easier to handle and enjoy.

Notes

  • You can substitute fresh rosemary for thyme if preferred for a different herbal note.
  • Check the bread towards the end of baking to ensure it doesn’t overbrown.
  • Serve warm for the best flavor and gooey cheese experience.
  • Use gluten-free bread dough if you need this recipe to be gluten-free.
