GARLIC CHEESE BREAD MADE WITH BISCUITS

If it is one thing I love to make, it is pull apart bread made with refrigerated biscuits. It’s so simple to make but you really can add so much flavor to biscuits so they end up tasting homemade. My favorite flavor to add is always garlic. Any kind of garlic and cheese and I am ALL over it!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Can I bake this pull-apart bread in the oven?

This pull apart bread can be baked in a 2-quart baking dish sprayed with nonstick cooking spray at 350f degrees for about 30-35 minutes.

Why do you add a paper towel under the lid of the slow cooker?

This helps absorb excess moisture. It keeps the moisture from collecting on the lid then dripping onto the biscuits.

What can I serve with cheesy bread?

Our favorite way to serve this pull-apart bread is with pizza or marinara sauce. You can also serve it with garlic butter or RANCH DRESSING.

Can I cook this on high?

I have tested this recipe multiple times and cooking it on high might cause the bottom of the biscuits to burn before the rest of the biscuits are finished cooking.

INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (FULL RECIPE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST)

  • refrigerated biscuits
  • butter or margarine
  • minced garlic
  • shredded mozzarella cheese
  • dried minced parsley, for topping (optional)

ingredients needed: refrigerated biscuits, margarine, minced garlic, shredded mozzarella cheese

HOW TO MAKE CROCK POT CHEESY GARLIC PULL-APART BREAD:

Cut each biscuit into 4 equal pieces, then place them in a large bowl. Note: if you would like smaller bites, cut each biscuit into 8 pieces..

refrigerate biscuit dough into four sections

Pour melted margarine on top of the biscuits, followed by the minced garlic. Toss everything together, making sure to coat each biscuit piece thoroughly in the garlic mixture.

Pour in the biscuit mixture and arrange the biscuits evenly in a single layer so they will cook up evenly.

Cover and cook on low for about 1 1/2 hours until biscuits have risen. The biscuits will not turn golden brown like they would when you cook them in an oven so keep an eye on them so the edges don’t burn. Biscuits are done when they are firm to the touch. You can stick a toothpick into one of the center biscuits. If it comes out clean, they are ready!

About 5-10 minutes before serving, sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the biscuits. Then sprinkle with dried parsley (optional).

Once cheese is melted, carefully remove from the biscuits from the slow cooker. This is easiest by just pulling it out using the sides of the parchment paper.

    If following the oven instructions, should the pan be covered (like the crockpot), uncovered, or part of each? Thank you in advance!

  2. Hi 🙂
    I only own a 3 quart and a 7 quart slow cooker.
    How do you recommend I modify your quantities for either one of my slow cookers ?

  3. I have made this before in the oven & adding 1/2 packet of onion soup mix to the butter, it is always a hit at the party, serve with melted Velveeta, green chilis, salsa added, heat all & serve
