Notes

The type of bread you start with will ultimately be the type of pull apart bread you end up with (either soft of crunchy). Read more on the bread above.
Stale bread of any type works very well in the recipe.
A sharp serrated knife is best to use for slicing the bread.
When slicing the bread, make sure you slice as deep as you can —this allows you to flavor and add fillings as much as possible to the bread. However make sure not to cut all the way through.
The garlic butter is used to flavor the bread and for that it’s used first.
You’ll need to divide the cheese between bottom and top layers. The bottom one helps the filing stick to the bread, while the top layer makes the “cheesy” in the pull apart bread.
Feel free to use extra cheese. Also feel free to use a combo of cheese to your taste.
Use American lamb for this recipe. It makes a HUGE difference when it comes to taste and quality.
Wrapping the bread with foil during baking allows for the cheese to melt and flavors to infuse beautifully without burning the bread.
The pull apart bread is great to prepare in advance. It’s best to make two or three loaves at time and wrap the extra ones in the freezer.
Baking time is the same if the bread is defrosted, however if you’re baking the loaf frozen, add 10 extra minutes of baking time. Read more details above in the Paragraph preparation in advance.
