Professional Bakery Tips for Perfect Pull Apart Bread

Bread Selection: Choose day-old bread for best structure - fresh bread can become soggy with butter.

Cutting Technique: Don't cut all the way through - leave bottom crust intact to hold shape.

Butter Distribution: Work butter mixture deep into cuts for maximum flavor in every bite.

Cheese Stuffing: Pack cheese firmly but don't overstuff - bread needs room to expand.

Timing: Serve immediately while cheese is still stretchy and bread is warm throughout.

Storage: Leftovers reheat well in 350°F oven for 10 minutes covered with foil.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F and line large baking dish with parchment paper.

Using sharp serrated knife, cut bread into 1-inch grid pattern without cutting through bottom.

Make crosshatch cuts about 3/4 through the loaf, leaving bottom crust intact for structure.

Gently separate cuts to create pockets while keeping loaf together.

In large mixing bowl, combine melted butter, olive oil, and minced garlic.

Add fresh parsley, chives, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to butter mixture.

Whisk in cream cheese, mayonnaise, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth and creamy.

In separate bowl, combine all shredded and grated cheeses for maximum meltiness.

Add fresh herbs and Italian seasoning to cheese mixture for aromatic complexity.

Using pastry brush or spoon, generously coat all cut surfaces with garlic butter.

Work butter mixture deep into every crack and crevice for maximum flavor penetration.

Stuff cheese mixture generously between all cuts, packing lightly but thoroughly.

Reserve some cheese mixture for topping to create golden, bubbly surface.

Brush top of bread with remaining garlic butter for extra richness and browning.

Sprinkle reserved cheese mixture over top along with extra Parmesan.

Add final touches of fresh herbs and light dusting of garlic powder.

Wrap bottom and sides of bread loosely with aluminum foil, leaving top exposed.

Place wrapped bread in prepared baking dish for easy cleanup and even heating.

Bake for 15 minutes covered, then remove foil for final 8-10 minutes.

Continue baking until cheese is melted, bubbly, and top is golden brown.

Let cool for 5 minutes to allow cheese to set slightly for easier pulling.

Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and herbs for beautiful color contrast.

Serve immediately while warm with prepared dipping sauces on the side.

Encourage guests to pull apart pieces from center outward for best experience.
