Parmesan Garlic Bubble Bread

Looking for something special to serve with your holiday meal? Parmesan Garlic Bubble Bread. This pull-apart garlic bread is easy to make and tastes great!!

Pull apart bread loaves, often referred to as monkey or bubble bread, are made to be torn apart by the hands and do not require cutting.

The loaf is made of small pieces of dough rolled in a garlic herb butter and sprinkled with freshly grated Parmesan cheese before heading to the oven to bake. When it emerges, the bread is so soft, tender, and packed with flavor. The bread pulls apart effortlessly, turning a solid loaf of bread into bite-sized pieces.
