Cheesy Sour Dough Pull Apart Bread
This cheesy sourdough pull-apart bread is the ultimate no-fuss, crowd-pleasing appetizer (or side dish!) that disappears in minutes. A crusty loaf gets sliced and stuffed with melted butter, garlic, parsley, parmesan, and mozzarella, creating perfectly golden, gooey pockets of cheese in every bite. It’s buttery, crispy, melty, and ridiculously easy — the kind of comfort food that makes people hover around the oven waiting for it to finish.

Ingredients
- 1 loaf crusty bread sourdough or Italian
- 8 tbsp butter melted
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp chopped parsley
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Prep the Bread: Preheat oven to 375°F. Place the loaf on a cutting board and slice it in a grid pattern—cutting deeply but not all the way through—creating pull-apart squares.
- Make the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, garlic powder, and chopped parsley.
- Fill the Bread: Gently open the cuts in the bread and drizzle the garlic butter into all the cracks. Tuck the shredded mozzarella and grated parmesan throughout the slices, stuffing the cheese into every opening.
- Wrap and Bake: Wrap the loaf loosely in foil and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes.
- Uncover + Crisp: Open the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 5 minutes, or until the top is golden and the cheese is fully melted.
- Serve: Serve warm and pull apart with your hands for the full cozy experience.
