Easy Pull Apart Herb Biscuits

This recipe is a winner with our family and friends, which is why I’ve been faithfully making it for well over a decade -- we think your family and friends will love it too!

PREP TIME10 minutes

COOK TIME10 minutes

TOTAL TIME20 minutes

Ingredients

• 16 oz. bread dough OR 1 tube (16 oz) refrigerated biscuits OR a 1 lb. loaf frozen bread dough, defrosted (see below for recipe)
• 1/4 c. butter, melted (1/2 a stick)
• 2 T. Parmesan cheese (shredded or powdered)
• 1 T. sesame seeds
• 2 t. dried basil
• 1 T. minced garlic (or 1 t. garlic powder)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400º F.
2. While the oven preheats, place 1/4 c. butter in an ungreased 9″ round baking pan and set the pan in the oven to melt the butter.
3. In a small bowl, mix together cheese and all dried herbs; set aside.
4. Divide dough/biscuits into 48 pieces (roughly 9-10 grams or 6 chunks per biscuit — this does NOT need to be exact or beautiful).
5. When the butter is melted, remove pan from oven and stir in the minced garlic (if using garlic powder, just mix it in with the dry herbs).
6. Place biscuit chunks in the pan with melted butter/garlic and gently stir until the dough is evenly coated with butter.
7. Sprinkle herb/cheese mixture over dough balls and stir to coat.
8. Bake in preheated oven for 8-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
9. Serve immediately!

Notes

Feel free to mix up the herb combination to suit your tastebuds, your pantry, or even your garden’s seasonal herbs. You could also just stick to butter, garlic, and parmesan if you have pickier eaters.

>>> FOR A SWEET TREAT:

Transform this recipe into a sweet treat by using 2 T. cinnamon and 1/2 c. white sugar in place of the cheese and herbs — follow the same baking instructions.

This is essentially a cross between cinnamon rolls and monkey bread (but easier!)

>>> FOR A DOUBLE BATCH:

If you have a big appetite, an extra-large family, lots of guests, or you just want leftovers… make a double batch in a 9″ x 13″ pan or a bundt pan.

The 9″ x 13″ pan will require a few more minutes in the oven (keep watching them). The bundt pan could require 10+ extra minutes — and the ones on the bottom won’t get as crispy.

>>> TO MAKE YOUR OWN DOUGH:

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup warm water
• 1 T. oil
• 1 T. sugar
• 1/2 T. active dry yeast
• 1.5 – 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 t. salt

Directions:

1. Knead all together for eight-ten minutes.
2. Let rise for 20ish minutes.
3. Punch down the dough and proceed with the biscuit recipe (cutting it into pieces and rolling in butter and spices).
