Family Friday: Cheesy Pull-apart garlic bread

Cooking isn't really cooking in the Wisconsin Test Kitchen unless there's some kind of music playing. A few weeks ago we went old school with some Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra. Nothing pairs with red wine quite like a little Dean Martin. But we digress! 

What brought on the red wine and Dean Martin love fest? 

A loaf of bread. 

No, seriously, a loaf of bread. We found a recipe for cheesy garlic bread on Facebook, and were craving it in a serious way... So serious, we ended up creating an entire meal around the garlic bread. Hey, don't judge- it's better than eating the entire loaf of bread for dinner! 

Pull Apart Cheesy Garlic Bread

2 14-oz cans biscuit dough
16 oz. Gruyere cheese, shredded (we used swiss,but mozzarella would work too)
1/4 cup roasted garlic
3/4 cup parsley, minced
3/4 cup basil, minced
1/3 cup canola oil

Combine cheese, garlic, parsley, basil and oil.

 Divide biscuits and cut each in half. Sprinkle cheese mixture on top and stack one slice on top of another.

Transfer to a bread pan and bake at 375 degrees for about 40 minutes.

We served these beautiful loaves of bread with some homemade meatballs and marinara sauce. It was a really delicious, hearty, indulgent meal. Literally- just looking at this bread has me humming That's Amore... 

Additionally, the bread kept very well, and we enjoyed it the next morning with scrambled eggs. 

So, cue up some Rat Pack music, pour the wine, and try this garlic bread. We promise you won't be disappointed!
