What Is Pull Apart Bread?
Pull apart bread is literally bread that easily pulls apart into bite sized pieces. Many call it “monkey bread”, although it’s more widely known as a sweet breakfast bread as opposed to something savory. This version delivers so much garlicky and cheesy goodness!
Ingredients for Cheesy Meatball Pull Apart Bread
- Premade biscuit dough: the kind you buy in a tube!
- Herby butter: simply melted butter and a collection of dried herbs, the biscuit dough is rolled in this mixture before being layered in the pan to bake.
- Frozen meatballs: Simek’s Italian Meatballs are absolutely scrumptious and are already appropriately flavored with Italian herbs.
- Fresh mozzarella cheese: I like using cilligene, which are small round balls of mozzarella cheese
- Shredded mozzarella and parmesan cheese: using both adds extra flavor and results in that classic cheese pull
- Marinara sauce: the perfect dipping sauce!
How To Make Cheesy Meatball Pull Apart Bread
- Remove the biscuit dough from the tubes. Use kitchen shears to cut each biscuit into quarters. Set aside.
- Melt the better and add the garlic powder, oregano, basil, rosemary, thyme, and salt. Mix to combine.
- Dip each piece of biscuit dough into the herbed butter, layering on the bottom of a bundt pan. Once there is a single layer of the biscuits on the bottom of the pan, add a layer of Simek’s meatballs. Next add mozzarella balls, more biscuits, and shredded cheese, alternating layers until all ingredients are gone.
- Add the pan to a baking sheet and bake for 60 minutes, until top is golden brown.
- After the pan has slightly cooled, invert it on a plate, allowing the bread to release on to the plate. Serve the bread with warm marinara for dipping!
