Ingredients
  

Cheesy Mozzarella Pull-Apart Ring
  • 1 bread dough
  • 2 cup mozzarella Cubed.
  • 4 tbsp garlic butter Melted.
  • 0.25 fresh parsley Chopped, for topping.
  • 0.25 cup parmesan For topping.

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Stuff and form the ring
  1. Cut the bread dough into segments and press mozzarella cubes into the center of each segment.
  2. Arrange the stuffed segments in a ring shape on a sheet pan so the seams sit close together.
Bake
  1. Brush the ring evenly with melted garlic butter so the surface glistens.
  2. Bake at 375F for 25 min, until the bread is golden and the cheese seams look melted.
Finish
  1. Top the hot ring with parsley and Parmesan so they cling to the buttery surface.

Notes

For the cleanest pull-apart seams, keep the mozzarella pieces small so they melt completely within the 25 minutes. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat at 350F until warmed through. Freeze assembled (before baking) up to 1 month, then bake from frozen at 375F with a few extra minutes. For a lower-fat option, use part-skim mozzarella and reduce garlic butter slightly.
