Cheesy Garlic PULL-APART Bread
For those of you that follow Spain on a Fork, you know I´ve been making a ton of bread recipes during this lockdown. There is just something so rewarding about making homemade bread. This Cheesy Garlic PULL-APART Bread promises to be one of the best ones yet.
This pull-apart bread has an insane amount of flavor. Between the seasoned dough, the melted Manchego cheese and the garlic, it truly is an explosion of goodness. The best part? It´s all done in just about 30 minutes!
To make this recipe I used a Mild Manchego cheese. This manchego easily melts, but it still has a nice nutty flavor. I also used a GREAT extra virgin olive oil. The olive oil is the base fat of this recipe, and it´s what gives the bread texture and flavor.
TIPS & TRICKS to make this Recipe: I used the bake + broil option when I baked this bread. If your oven can´t do both functions at the same time, just bake it for the same time I baked mine, then add to the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes. Or, if you have the bake option with fan, just use that setting with the same baking time. Maybe a 1 or 2 minute difference, since every oven heat´s differently.
Key Ingredients & Cookware I used in this Recipe:
8-INCH ROUND BAKING PAN
EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL
SPANISH SEA SALT
