Ingredients You’ll Need
Makes 1 loaf
For the Dough:
- 1 can (13.8 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (or homemade biscuit dough if preferred)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (sharp or mild, depending on your preference)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- 1 tsp dried parsley (optional, for color and freshness)
For the Topping:
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter , melted
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) . Grease a loaf pan (8x4 inches) or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2: Prepare the Dough
- Separate the biscuit dough into individual rounds. Flatten each round slightly with your hand or a rolling pin.
- Sprinkle a small handful of shredded cheddar cheese onto each flattened biscuit round. Fold the dough over the cheese to enclose it, pinching the edges to seal. Roll it gently into a ball.
Step 3: Assemble the Bread
- Place the stuffed dough balls into the prepared loaf pan, arranging them snugly in rows. Repeat until the pan is filled.
- Sprinkle any remaining shredded cheese (and Parmesan, if using) evenly over the top of the dough balls.
Step 4: Bake
- Bake for 20–25 minutes , or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
Step 5: Add the Butter Topping
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder (if using). Brush the butter mixture generously over the baked bread.
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
Step 6: Serve
- Let the bread cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
