If you haven’t been following me from the beginning, let me introduce you to this Cheesy Pizza Pull Apart Bread — circa 2014 — when I had no idea how to use my camera. Fast forward to 2016, and I even though I STILL don’t know what I’m doing with my camera…I do know how to put together a mean pull apart bread, and had to remake this for your eating pleasure. Serve as a snack, a side OR an appetiser! We may even had it for dinner 3 nights in a row.
Pull-Apart Garlic Bread will be gone in 10 seconds flat—we can almost guarantee it.
