A quick and easy cheesy garlic pull-apart beer bread perfect for parties, featuring a tender crumb, melty cheese, and a subtle maltiness from beer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups (360g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 to 1½ cups (100-150g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup (100g) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4 tbsp (60g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
  • 12 fl oz (355 ml) beer (lager or pale ale recommended)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups (360g) all-purpose flour, 1 tbsp baking powder, 1 tsp salt, and 1 tsp garlic powder.
  3. Pour in 12 fl oz (355 ml) of beer slowly while stirring with a fork or whisk. Do not overmix; the batter should be thick and slightly lumpy.
  4. Fold in 1 cup (100g) shredded mozzarella and 1 to 1½ cups (100-150g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese.
  5. Pour batter into the loaf pan, filling about three-quarters of the pan.
  6. Bake the bread for 40-45 minutes until a golden crust forms. Check doneness with a toothpick; it should come out mostly clean.
  7. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes.
  8. Using a sharp serrated knife, slice the bread into 1-inch cubes vertically and horizontally, without cutting through the bottom.
  9. Melt 4 tbsp (60g) unsalted butter and mix in 3 minced garlic cloves and 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley. Brush this garlic butter generously between the bread cubes and over the top.
  10. Sprinkle extra shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese in the gaps for extra cheesiness.
  11. Bake again for 10-15 minutes until the cheese melts and the garlic butter crisps up.
  12. Let the bread cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread light and fluffy. Slice the loaf while warm but not hot for easier pull-apart. If the top browns too quickly, tent with foil halfway through baking. Dip the knife in hot water and wipe dry for cleaner cuts.
