GARLIC AND HERB PULL APART BREAD
This was fantastic with spaghetti, my family loved it... in fact my husband tried to eat the whole thing. Keep in mind though, we love garlic at our house. If you are not a fan of strong garlic, streamline the amount until you are comfortable with it.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a fluted tube pan (such as a Bundt® with cooking spray.
- In a bowl, mix together the melted butter, parsley, rosemary, basil, and garlic. Separate the biscuits, and dip each biscuit into the butter and herbs; place biscuits in a random pattern into the prepared pan. If there is any unused butter mixture, pour it over the biscuits.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the bread is browned and cooked through in the center, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven, and invert the pan on a cutting board; the bread will fall out of the pan in one piece. Serve by pulling the bread apart into individual servings.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, mix the warm water, yeast and 1 teaspoon of the sugar. Set aside for about 5 minutes until the mixture starts to thicken and bubble slightly. (If the mixture does not start to thicken and bubble slightly, the yeast is not working. Check the expiration date on the yeast and start over.)
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, stir together the egg, oil, salt and remaining 1/2 cup sugar until well combined. Mix in the cold water followed by the boiling water. Add the yeast mixture to the mixing bowl and stir until well blended. Add the flour and stir until it comes together into a shaggy dough, about 1 minute. Replace the paddle attachment with the dough hook and continue to knead until mostly smooth, about 3 minutes.
- Add the garlic, 2 tablespoons of the parsley and 1 tablespoon of the chives to the dough. Continue to knead until the dough is smooth and elastic, another 3 minutes, adding in the extra 1/2 cup flour or more as needed so the dough isn't too sticky. Transfer the dough to a large, oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 3 hours.
- Line an 8-inch round cake pan or baking dish with a sheet of parchment, allowing the excess paper to hang over the edges of the pan. Place a 2-to-3-inch biscuit cutter, sharp side down, in the center of the pan or dish and set aside.
- Mix the melted butter with the remaining 2 tablespoons parsley and 1 tablespoon chives in a large bowl. Cut the dough into strips and then cut each strip into 1-inch pieces. Roll a piece into a ball and transfer it to the bowl with the butter, turning to coat completely. Transfer it to the cake pan. Repeat with the remaining dough and butter mixture, surrounding the biscuit cutter completely with the balls. Drizzle any remaining butter from the bowl over the top. Cover and let rise for 1 1/2 hours at room temperature.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Sprinkle the balls with the Parmesan. Place the pan of dough onto a baking sheet and bake until the top is golden brown and crisp, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
- While the bread is resting, in a small saucepan, heat the marinara and half-and-half until it is warm. Transfer to a bowl for dipping. Transfer the bread to a serving platter with the side sprinkled with Parmesan facing up. Remove the biscuit cutter. Serve immediately with the creamy tomato dipping sauce.
VERY EASY HERB PULL-APART BREAD
I got this recipe from "Betty Crocker's Holiday Cookbook". WOW what a great tasting bread. This bread is perfect for any Italian dish. And It's sooooooo easy! No dough to mix! Cook time includes time for packaged dough balls to thaw and rise. I used my bundt cake pan, because of it's thickness it took about 5 hours for the dough to thaw and rise.

Tips:
- Prep your ingredients: Ensure all ingredients are measured and ready before starting, ensuring a smooth cooking process. For herbs, chop them finely to distribute their flavor evenly throughout the bread.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs offer a more vibrant flavor compared to dried ones. If fresh herbs are unavailable, use half the amount of dried herbs.
- Activate the yeast: It's essential to activate the yeast before adding it to the dough. In warm water (105-115°F), mix the yeast and sugar. Allow it to sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy, indicating its activation.
- Mix the dough properly: In a large bowl, combine the activated yeast mixture with the remaining ingredients, mixing well to form a soft and slightly sticky dough. Avoid over-mixing, as this can result in a tough texture.
- Let the dough rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap or a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour or until it doubles in size. This allows the yeast to work its magic and create a light and airy texture.
- Shape the dough: After the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air bubbles. Divide the dough into small balls and arrange them in a greased baking dish. Leave some space between each ball to allow for expansion during baking.
- Bake the bread: Preheat your oven to the desired temperature specified in the recipe. Bake the bread for the recommended time, or until it's golden brown on top and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. Avoid over-baking, as this can dry out the bread.
- Serve warm: Herb pull-apart bread is best served warm, straight out of the oven. You can enjoy it as it is or with your favorite dipping sauce.
