Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• 1 tablespoon cooking spray (for greasing the pan)

• ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

• 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

• 1 tablespoon dried parsley

• ½ teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed

• ½ teaspoon dried basil

• 2 (12-ounce) cans refrigerated biscuit dough (regular style, about 20 biscuits total)

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a bundt or fluted tube pan with cooking spray, making sure to coat the sides and center thoroughly.

2. Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl. Stir in the chopped garlic, dried parsley, crushed rosemary, and dried basil. Mix until well combined.

3. Open the biscuit cans and separate the individual biscuits. Cut each biscuit into quarters for more bite-sized pieces, if desired.

4. Dip each piece of biscuit dough into the garlic-herb butter mixture, coating completely.

5. Layer the coated dough pieces into the prepared bundt pan in a random, slightly overlapping pattern. Once all pieces are layered, pour any remaining garlic butter mixture evenly over the top.

6. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through. The biscuits should be puffed and lightly crisped on top.

7. Remove from oven and let sit for 2–3 minutes. Carefully invert the pan onto a serving platter and gently lift the pan to release the bread. Serve warm and let guests pull apart pieces to enjoy.

Variations

Storage/Reheating

Store any leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day, or refrigerate for up to 2–3 days.
To reheat, place the bread on a baking sheet and warm in a preheated 325°F (160°C) oven for 5–8 minutes. To prevent drying out, loosely cover it with foil.
You can also reheat individual pieces in the microwave for 10–15 seconds, but the oven gives the best texture.

FAQs

What kind of biscuit dough should I use?

Use regular refrigerated biscuit dough. Avoid “flaky layers” or “grands” styles if you want a more uniform texture throughout.

Can I prepare this ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the bread in the pan and cover it tightly with plastic wrap. Store it in the fridge for up to 6 hours before baking.

Can I use homemade dough instead of canned biscuits?

Absolutely. You can use homemade biscuit or yeast dough, though the texture and baking time may vary slightly.

How do I make the bread extra crispy on top?

Let it bake a few extra minutes uncovered. If needed, broil it on low for 1–2 minutes at the end, watching closely to prevent burning.

How do I prevent it from sticking to the pan?

Make sure the entire bundt pan, including the center tube, is well-greased with cooking spray or butter. Allow it to cool for a couple of minutes before inverting.

Can I add meat like bacon or pepperoni?

Yes! Crumbled cooked bacon or chopped pepperoni can be mixed in with the dough pieces for a more savory version.

What herbs can I substitute if I don’t have rosemary or basil?

Try using oregano, thyme, Italian seasoning, or even dill, depending on your taste preferences.

Can I freeze this bread?

Yes, after baking and cooling, wrap it tightly in foil and freeze for up to one month. Reheat in the oven at 325°F until warm throughout.

Can I make it vegan?

You can substitute plant-based butter and use vegan biscuit dough. Just check the labels for dairy and animal products.

Is this good for dipping?

Definitely! Serve it with warm marinara sauce, garlic butter, ranch dressing, or a cheesy dip for extra flavor.
