Cheesy Roasted Garlic Pull-Apart Bread

There is something about roasted garlic that makes me swoon. The anticipation of waiting for it to cook up in the oven is almost too much. I’m the one poking at it every ten minutes, impatiently waiting for it to reach that perfect golden color and becomes buttery soft.

This bread? A killer way to use some roasted garlic. It’s like garlic bread x 1000 and super simple to throw together. Easy, breezy, beautiful… garlic bread.

A big thank you to Nicole over at Seven 8 Nine for hosting this month’s ‘baking with garlic’ theme! Love garlic? Want more? Make sure to check out her blog for a roundup of all the  delicious garlicy recipes!

Cheesy Roasted Garlic Pull-Apart Bread

2 heads of garlic
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 cans Pillsbury Grands Homestyle biscuits
8 ounces Swiss cheese, shredded
1 cup flat leaf parsley, roughly chopped

  1. Roast the garlic: Preheat oven to 400°F. Peel most of the paper off the garlic. Cut about ¼-inch off the top of the garlic bulbs to expose the tips of the cloves. Drizzle each head with 1 teaspoon of olive oil and wrap in foil. Place garlic in preheated oven and bake for 35 – 40 minutes, or until golden brown and soft. Unwrap garlic and set aside to cool.
  2. Reduce oven temperature to 350 °F. Lightly grease a 9×5 loaf pan and set aside.
  3. Once garlic is cool enough to handle, gently squeeze the base of the bulb to release the cloves of garlic. Place cheese, garlic, and parsley in a bowl and mix until well combined.
  4. To build the bread: slice biscuits in half horizontally. Lay one half on your workspace and sprinkle with a bit of the cheese and garlic mixture. Top with another half of biscuit. Repeat until you have a stack 6 biscuits high. Transfer this to your prepared loaf pan and repeat until the pan is full. (You may have leftover biscuits and/or cheese – it’s ok! Sprinkle any remaining cheese on top of the biscuits in the pan and bake the leftover biscuits according to package directions.)
  5. Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.

Brownie Cake with Biscoff Frosting

Brownie Cake with Biscoff Frosting |doughseedough.net

I can’t really explain my obsession with Biscoff cookies. I love them so much that my sister hoards them from her travels and gives them to me. On her last trip back from the UK, she brought me a jar of Biscoff spread along with a handful of the cookies. The spread sat in my pantry for months; I didn’t know what to do with it. She threw some ideas at me – eat it with a spoon! on bread with Nutella! with a banana! – but none of them really sounded special enough to me. This was my first experience with Biscoff spread. I wanted everything to be perfect. After searching a bit, I found this recipe for a Biscoff Brownie Cake and I was sold.

I will admit that I ate a disgusting amount of frosting with a spoon. And I may have eaten a spoonful of the spread when I was making the frosting, too. Maybe.

Brownie Cake with Biscoff Frosting
slightly adapted from Bakers Royale

for the brownie:
12 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 ounces unsweetened chocolate, roughly chopped
2 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
3 tablespoons cocoa powder

for the frosting:
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1 cup Biscoff spread
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
1 – 3 tablespoons milk

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper and butter parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. To make the brownie: Combine butter and chocolate in a large microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30 second increments, stirring after each increment, until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Set aside to cool slightly. Stir in sugar, salt, and vanilla until blended. Add in eggs, one at a time, stirring after each egg until well blended. Stir in flour and cocoa powder and mix until just combined. Scrape batter into prepared springform pan and smooth out the top with a spatula. Bake for 35 – 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  3. Set pan on a wire rack to cool. Run a knife around the edge of the brownie and release from the springform pan. Flip brownie onto a flat surface and peel off parchment paper. Turn brownie right-side up and allow to cool completely.
  4. To make the Biscoff frosting: Beat butter and Biscoff spread on medium speed until smooth. Add in powdered sugar and milk until mixture is smooth. Add more milk and/or powdered sugar to reach desired consistency.
  5. To assemble: Spread frosting on top of cake and smooth with an offset spatula. Decorate with chocolate sprinkles, if desired.
