Warming Your Garlic Cheese Pull-Apart

💡 Plan ahead: This bread needs 6–7 hours unwrapped on the counter to fully defrost. For a lunch serving, use the overnight fridge method below.
❄️ Option A — Counter Defrost
  1. Remove from freezer and leave unwrapped on the counter for 6–7 hours until fully defrosted.
🌙 Option B — Overnight Fridge Method
  1. Keep the bread wrapped in its foil and place in the refrigerator overnight.
  2. In the morning, move to the counter and open just the top of the foil.
  3. Gently spread apart the sections of the bread slightly.
  4. Leave on the counter with the foil top open for 2–3 hours until fully defrosted.
🔥 Baking — Once Fully Defrosted
  1. Wrap the entire loaf tightly back in the foil — all sides sealed.
  2. Bake at 350°F for 45 minutes.
  3. Open the top of the foil and bake uncovered for a further 8–10 minutes.
  4. Remove when the cheese is fully melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.Every oven is different — trust your eyes and take it out when it looks ready.

Pull apart, share, and enjoy immediately. 🧀

  3. Add your sauce, cheese, and toppings.Yes — even meat! Load it up.
