Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can (16 ounces / 454 grams) refrigerated biscuit dough
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Finishing Ingredients:
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Segment refrigerated biscuits or homemade dough into bite-sized quadrants, ensuring uniform pieces for consistent cooking.
- Create a flavor-packed coating by thoroughly combining melted butter, minced garlic, aromatic Italian seasoning, cracked black pepper, and finely grated Parmesan cheese in a spacious mixing vessel.
- Gently tumble dough pieces through the seasoned butter mixture, guaranteeing each morsel becomes completely enrobed with savory seasonings.
- Prepare the crockpot interior by either lining with parchment paper or applying a generous butter coating to prevent potential sticking.
- Arrange the butter-coated dough pieces in a uniform, loosely packed layer within the crockpot, optionally interspersing mozzarella fragments between sections for additional melty complexity.
- Secure the crockpot lid and activate high-temperature setting, allowing bread to transform for approximately 90-120 minutes.
- Validate doneness by inserting a wooden skewer toward the center – if it emerges clean without raw dough residue, the bread has reached perfect completion.
- Garnish the aromatic bread with freshly chopped parsley and an additional sprinkle of Parmesan cheese for enhanced visual and flavor appeal.
- Present immediately while warm, accompanied by marinara sauce or garlic-infused butter for an indulgent dipping experience.
Notes
- Prevent Sticking: Line the crockpot with parchment paper or generously grease to ensure the bread doesn’t adhere to the sides, making removal and serving easier.
- Customize Flavor Profiles: Experiment with different herbs like rosemary or thyme, or add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick that elevates the basic garlic Parmesan combination.
- Gluten-Free Adaptation: Swap regular biscuit dough for gluten-free biscuit mix or use almond flour-based dough to make this recipe accessible for those with wheat sensitivities.
- Portion Control Tip: Cut biscuits uniformly to guarantee even cooking and consistent texture throughout the pull-apart bread, ensuring each piece is perfectly golden and deliciously crisp.
