How to Make Pull Apart Bread

Here are the simple steps for making boule pull apart bread:

Combine the flour, sugar, salt, milk, and yeast into the bowl. Turn the dough out onto a clean, floured countertop. Knead with your hands until smooth and an elastic dough forms (about 5-6 minutes). Cover the dough with a towel and let it rest for 1 ½ hours or until it has doubled. Divide the dough in equal size (about the size of a medium spoon)

Cut the cheese into cubes. Wrap each piece of dough around a piece of cheese. Combine the butter and Italian herb seasoning in a small bowl.

Dip the dough balls in the melted butter and Arrange them in a prepared cast iron skillet. Brush any remaining butter over the top.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Put the rolls in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes. To loosen the pan, run a dull knife around the edges

Serving Suggestions

Serve with your favorite soup, or serve as a quick side dish. Serve with a bowl of Instant Pot Wild Rice Soup, Ninja Foodi Broccoli Cheddar Soup, or Outback Steakhouse Walkabout Soup.

Make sure the bread rolls are completely cooled before storing to prevent condensation, which can make them soggy. Place the bread rolls in an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag. This helps maintain their moisture and keeps them soft.
