Pull Apart Garlic Bread Wreath
The Pull Apart Garlic Bread Wreath uses pizza dough shaped into small balls, arranged in a circular pattern and brushed with a garlic, parsley, and butter mixture, then topped with Parmesan cheese. Baked until golden, it's served with marinara sauce in the center for dipping. This creates a shareable bread with a crispy exterior, soft interior, and savory garlic flavor, ideal as an appetizer or side dish.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds pizza dough homemade or store-bought
- ¼ cup butter melted, unsalted
- 1 ½ tablespoons parsley chopped fresh leaves
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
- 1 cup marinara sauce
Instructions
- Let dough stand at room temperature for 30 minutes up to 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Lightly oil the outside of a 6-ounce ramekin or coat with nonstick spray and place in the center of the prepared baking sheet. Fill with water.
- Using a digital scale, cut dough into 1-ounce pieces, yielding 22-24 total pieces, pressing each piece into a disk, then shaping into a ball.
- In a small bowl, combine butter, parsley, garlic and salt.
- Place dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet in a circular pattern around the ramekin. Brush tops with butter mixture; sprinkle with Parmesan.
- Place into oven and bake until golden brown, about 25-30 minutes. Working carefully, remove ramekin and discard water. Fill with marinara and return to the center of the baking sheet; brush tops with remaining butter mixture.
- Serve immediately.
