This bread is just delicious! It’s easy to make, soft and moist inside, and crispy and tasty on top. You might have seen viral videos of similar bread on social media; here is our version of the popular pull-apart garlic bread.
Easy Garlic Bread with Parsley
It started when I saw a video of the fun way to shape garlic bread on Instagram. Of course, I had to try it!
Since we already have a super good recipe for Garlic Bread with Herbs, I adapted that recipe and shaped the bread this way.
It was surprisingly easy, and it tasted absolutely fantastic.
The top of the bread becomes crispy and crunchy, with a soft and moist interior filled with all the good garlic butter. Yum!
You really should try making it at home; you won’t regret it.
Ingredient notes
Milk – I use milk in the dough; if you can’t tolerate it, you can also replace it with water.
Wheat Flour – It’s a good idea to use flour with a high protein content when baking bread. This gives you the best structure and rise in the bread. Aim for a protein percentage of at least around 12% if you can find it.
Parsley – I add parsley to my garlic butter because it tastes really good, and it also looks beautiful with a bit of green in the bread. If you prefer to use another herb or skip it entirely, feel free to do so. Also try making the bread with thyme, basil, chives, or a mix of different herbs.
How to make pull apart garlic bread with parsley?
This bread is really easy, and it doesn’t take long to make.
First, you need to make the dough. It’s a regular yeast dough made by dissolving yeast in warm milk and adding salt and sugar. Then add wheat flour, knead the dough really well, and let it rise.
Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface. Spread it with a mixture of soft butter, pressed garlic, and chopped parsley, then cut it with a pizza cutter or a sharp knife.
Stack all the pieces on top of each other and place them upright in a buttered bread pan.
Let the bread rise again for about half an hour while preheating the oven.
Put the bread in the oven and bake it for 15-18 minutes until it’s golden and crispy on top and fully baked.
Serve the bread warm, and pull pieces off at the table.

Tips and tricks for the recipe
-
Use a Mixer
- This dough needs to be kneaded really well to get the right structure, so I recommend using a mixer to knead it. You can probably do it by hand, but it requires some strong hands to knead for that long.
Serving suggestions
- Serve the bread as a side for summer barbecues.
- Serve as a side for autumn and winter stews or soups.
