This pull-apart loaf makes about ten appetizer servings for a party or pasta night. It is a warm, shareable bread rather than a main dish.
Ingredients
Round sourdough loaf
1 large
Unsalted butter
6 tablespoons
Garlic cloves
4
Fresh parsley
1/4 cup, chopped
Low-moisture mozzarella cheese

Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup, grated
Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon
Kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon
How to make it
- Heat the oven to 375°F. 2. Cut deep crosshatch slits across the loaf without slicing through the bottom. 3. Melt butter with garlic, parsley, Italian seasoning, and salt. 4. Drizzle garlic butter into the cuts and stuff them with mozzarella and Parmesan. 5. Wrap loosely in foil and bake for 15 minutes. 6. Uncover and bake until browned and melty, about 10 minutes more.
Who this list is for
This list is for anyone planning to serve a crowd-pleasing, cheesy garlic pull-apart bread at a party, game night, or pasta dinner for about ten people. If you’re hosting and want a warm, shareable appetizer that feels homemade but isn’t fussy, this is your starting point.
How to use this list
Start by checking your pantry and fridge for staples like unsalted butter, kosher salt, and Italian seasoning. Then, shop for a large round sourdough loaf—the bread’s shape matters for easy pull-apart pieces. Pick up fresh parsley for color and flavor, and get both low-moisture mozzarella and grated parmesan cheese for the right melt and taste. Don’t forget four garlic cloves for the main flavor punch. Prep everything before assembly: chop parsley, grate cheese if needed, and soften butter. Cross off items you already have as you go.
Common mistakes
People often buy the wrong bread shape—avoid baguettes or sandwich loaves, which don’t pull apart well. Using pre-shredded cheese can make the bread greasy or clumpy, so shred your own if possible. Don’t skip fresh garlic; jarred versions don’t deliver the same flavor. Overstuffing with cheese sounds tempting, but it can make the loaf soggy and hard to handle.
What is on this list
You’ll need a large round sourdough loaf, unsalted butter, fresh garlic cloves, chopped fresh parsley, shredded low-moisture mozzarella, grated parmesan, Italian seasoning, and kosher salt. Go through your kitchen and cross off what you already have. Only buy what’s missing to keep things simple and cost-effective.
Before you go
Double-check your cheese and bread freshness on shopping day. If prepping ahead, store cheese and chopped parsley separately in airtight containers. Thaw butter if it’s frozen. Plan to assemble and bake just before serving for the best texture and aroma. Have a large baking sheet and foil ready at home for easy cleanup.
