Savory Garlic Pull-Apart Bread

By -





This Savory Garlic Pull-Apart Bread was a terrific accompaniment for the Turkey Pasta salad we had for dinner tonight. I wanted to make a garlic bread of some sort.  I used the dough recipe that my friend Pat uses for her cinnamon rolls (I had just printed it off and it was still on the counter!  Nice and handy!) though I did cut that recipe in half.  I did add a tad more salt, and a tad less sugar.  I dipped pieces of dough from that into melted butter mixed with garlic powder.    Next time, I will use more garlic and a little salt with the butter.  I included those changes with this recipe.

 I was pleased over all with how these turned out!  They did almost grow out of the pan though!  My favorite part to eat was the crisp outer edges.  Mmmmm!   Definitely making these again!  I can't wait to try these with soups later this fall and winter!

 Savory Garlic Pull-Apart Bread

 1 3/4 C. warm water
1/4 C. oil
1/3 C. sugar
3 T. yeast

 Mix together and let sit 15 minutes. 

 Add:

 1 1/2 tsp. salt
2 eggs
5 C. flour (may need a little more if too sticky)

 Mix until smooth and the dough pulls away from the side of the bowl.  Pull off pieces a bit larger than a golf ball and form into a ball.  

 Mix 1 cube (1/2 C) melted butter, 1 1/2 tsp. garlic powder, 1/2 tsp. salt.  

 Dip balls of dough into the butter mixture and place in a greased bundt pan or into a couple of loaf pans, layering as needed. (you won't need to let this rise much, just few minutes and mine was over flowing!)

 Bake within a few minutes of filling the pan at 375 for 25-30 minutes or until the outside is a crusty brown.  Turn out onto a plate or serving platter.  Serve warm!



Joy's Notes:  I used my Kitchen Aid mixer for this but the dough is soft and it would be easy enough to mix it all by hand.  Next time I'm going to add a few more seasonings such as basil or maybe parsley and sprinkle Parmesan cheese over each layer.  This will be a fun recipe to play with.  AND when I'm ready for a sweet pull apart bread this dough will be perfect for that too!  Thanks Pat!

Creamy Pork Chops and Potatoes

The other day I needed a dinner that I could make ahead and leave in the oven.  I combined a couple of recipes to come up with this.  It was a hit with our entire family. I like to buy full boneless pork loins at Sam's Club and then cut them into chops or leave the size we need for a roast.  The price is usually cheapest that way and I'm all about cutting our food budget.  I keep everything in this recipe on hand (aside from the French's Fried Onions) so it is something I could throw together  spur of the moment. Creamy Pork Chops and Potatoes 6-8 pork loin chops (boneless or bone-in) 6 LARGE  russet potatoes , peeled and sliced 2 10 oz. cans condensed cream of mushroom soup 1 12 oz. can evaporated milk 3/4 C. water 3 T. onion soup base (1 package of Lipton onion soup is a little over 2 T. so just use that if you'd rather not have a package open.  I buy mine in bulk so it's easier for measuring) 1/4 tsp. pepper 1/4 tsp. salt French's fr...

My family doesn't generally love brown rice.  They really enjoyed it in this dish though.  I started out to do a skillet dinner, but I took a little time to put it all in a pan and melt the cheese in the oven.  Next time I'm going to try just mixing it in and letting it melt in the skillet rather than sprinkling it on top. This was a tasty dinner and full of healthy ingredients.   My family requested it again! Brown Rice and Broccoli with Chicken 1 1/2 C. brown rice 3 1/4 C.chicken broth or water with 3 tsp. chicken boullion  Place in medium pan, bring to a boil and cook for 40 minutes.  Remove from heat. While the rice is cooking, saute the following in 1 T. of olive oil: 2 chicken breast, diced 1 C. onion, diced 1 C. mushrooms, sliced 2 C. broccoli florets (fresh or frozen is fine) When the rice is done, place it on the bottom of a greased 9x13 pan .  Spread chicken and vegetables over rice.  Drizzle a couple of tablespoon...

Molasses Oatmeal Bread is a hearty (and heart healthy!) bread that is easy and delicious!  We love it toasted and spread with homemade jam.  So good!  Molasses adds a rich flavor and beautiful color.
