Roasted Jalapeno Pull-Apart Bread

Boy howdy, this roasted jalapeno pull-apart bread packs a punch but it sure is good! You pull off a chunk, get a bite… thinkin’ whoa, this is kinda hot… then you go and pull off another chunk because it is GOOD! Wonderfully cheesy, with a nice crunch, this is the bread dreams are made of. No more of that boring garlic cheese bread! Bring the heat and some flavor instead!

Roasted Jalapeno Pull-Apart Bread

Leave out the jalapenos if you prefer less heat. You can substitute well-drained green chiles instead. For me, though, this roasted jalapeno pull-apart bread is perfect the way it is.

Also try my pumpkin pull-apart bread.

Olive Cheese Bread

Looking for a change from the “usual” garlic cheese bread? This olive cheese bread is salty, and cheesy, with just a little onion bite. My wife absolutely loves olives, so this was a major hit with her.

Olive Cheese Bread

Next time I make this, I might kick it up even further by using stuffed olives. I can see where jalapeno-stuffed or garlic-stuffed olives would really take this over the top. I’d also use pepper jack cheese instead of Monterrey jack just for a little more heat.

Also try my jalapeno popper garlic cheese bread.

Garlic Parmesan Skillet Bread

This garlic Parmesan skillet bread is a great way to make a big batch of tasty, savory bread for dinner. It looks cool and is just about as no-fuss as you can get. I cooked the bread in a cast iron skillet, which I think gives the bread a bit more of a crust on the bottom, but you can use a saute pan that is able to handle 350 F in the oven (most can).

Garlic Parmesan Skillet Bread

I can see making this using cheddar instead of Parmesan, and perhaps a little Cajun seasoning instead of Italian for something a little different. Don’t get me wrong, garlic Parmesan skillet bread is delicious as it is. It’s just fun sometimes to change things up a bit.

This bread is best made in a cast iron skillet.

Also try my Italian herb skillet bread.

Homemade Hamburger Buns

I was really happy with how these homemade hamburger buns came out. They weren’t as thick as store-bought buns, but they were very soft and tasty. And they made the house smell great while they were baking. I’m not normally very successful at baking. I’m missing whatever gene you need to have to consistently turn out great breads. But I was very pleased with these buns.

You can use this same recipe to make excellent slider buns. You can make your buns round or square. Or in my case, somewhere in between.

Instructions

  • Place the milk and butter in a small pan. Heat until butter is melted. Remove from heat and let cool to 110° F.
  • Stir in the yeast and let stand for 10 minutes.
  • Combine the flour, sugar and salt in a mixer bowl fitted with a dough hook.
  • With the mixer running on low, pour in the milk mixture. Knead until the dough forms a ball. Add more flour if the mixture is too moist.
  • Increase mixer speed to medium-low and let the dough knead for 5 minutes or until it is smooth and elastic. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in a warm place.
  • Lightly flour a work surface. Roll out the dough until it is a 10″ x 7 1/2 ” rectangle. Cut into 2 1/2″ squares if making full-sized buns, or 1 1/2″ squares for sliders.
  • Transfer dough squares (you can actually form them into rounds if you want) to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for another 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400 F.
  • Whisk egg together with 1 teaspoon warm water and brush on top of the dough squares. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and poppy seeds, if desired.
  • Bake until buns are golden brown, about 15 minutes. Let cool completely then cut in half.

Bacon Biscuit Pull-Aparts

When I first saw these bacon biscuit pull-aparts on the Picky Palate, I thought, “These have to be illegal in most states. They look just too good.”. They have everything that is yummy in them: biscuits, cheese and bacon with warmed maple syrup on top. These biscuits are perfect for breakfast, or as a side for dinner.

Bacon Biscuit Pull-Aparts

The result is soft, cheesy gooey yumminess. The bacon biscuit pull-aparts were just as good left over as they were the evening I made them.

I highly recommend that you shred or grate your own cheese at home. Don’t buy the pre-shredded or pre-grated stuff. It has stuff added to it to keep it from sticking together. That ‘stuff’ affects how the cheese melts. Shred it yourself and use the good stuff.

I love making pull-apart breads. Try my pumpkin version. It’s perfect for fall. Actually, it’d be great for breakfast too!

  • 5 slices thick-cut bacon or 1/4th of a breakfast sausage roll
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
  • 1 tube biscuit dough
  • 6 fresh mozzarella sliced thin
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded
  • maple syrup warmed (for serving)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F.
  • Cook bacon (or sausage) and let drain on a paper towel.
  • Brush butter around the inside of a 9″ cast iron skillet.
  • Place biscuits in skillet. You’ll want to pack them in much like dinner rolls.
  • Top with mozzarella, the bacon (or sausage) and cheddar.

  • Serve topped with warm maple syrup.

Notes

Use a 8″-9″ cast iron skillet for best results. You can use an 8″ skillet too, but you’ll have to use one less biscuit (trust me on this).

This bread is dangerously good. You’ve been warned! You won’t be able to stop eating it. It’s totally irresistible hot-out-of-the-oven.

If you like pull-apart bread, but want a little more kick than pepperoni, try our roasted jalapeno pull-apart bread. Or try our ham-and-cheese sandwich pull-apart. It’s a great way to make big sandwich in no time at all. For breakfast, make a pan of bacon biscuit pull-aparts.

Shrimp-Stuffed Bread

I’ve been a subscriber of Chile Pepper magazine (sadly, no longer publishing) for quite some time now. Every issue has not only great recipes, but also articles on peppers, products and cuisines. Even if you aren’t a fan of heat or spice, Chile Pepper is well worth the subscription price. Why? Because it’s packed with awesome recipes like this one for shrimp-stuffed bread.

Shrimp-Stuffed Bread

The original recipe called for crawfish tails, which would also make for an amazing dish. But, all of the crawfish around here are imported. I can get Louisiana shrimp thankfully. So that’s why I made shrimp-stuffed bread instead.

I recently discovered Blue Plate mayonnaise, which I think is the best around. If you can’t find it locally you can pick it up online for a fair price.

Also try my shrimp-stuffed potato skins and stuffed French bread.

These rapid rolls from Kelsey Nixon are superb! They are flaky and sweet. Perfect for soppin’, or biscuits and gravy, or even as slider rolls. They are also very easy to make. All you need is a blender and a 12″ cast-iron skillet. The heck with buying pre-made rolls. These are way, way better!

Rapid Rolls

This recipe for rapid rolls makes a big ole batch. So it is perfect for a family get-together! The rolls are just as great the next day so don’t worry that it makes so many.

Also, the dough is (supposedly) great as a pizza dough. I’ll try that next!

Ingredients

  • 3 packets active dry yeast .25 ounce packets, or about 6 3/4 teaspoons jarred yeast
  • 1 ¾ cups warm water
  • ½ cup honey
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 3 teaspoons kosher salt divided, plus more for sprinkling
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 5 cups all-purpose flour you might need more

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 F.
  • Place warm water into the bowl of a mixer fitted with a mixing paddle. Add the yeast and let sit for 5 minutes until bubbling.
  • Add in the honey,
  • Turn the mixer on low. Pour in 1/2 cup of the butter, 2 teaspoons of the salt, and both eggs.
  • Begin adding the flour, slowly. After about 4 cups keep an eye on the mixture as you add more dough. You want the dough to be only slightly sticky, forming a ball that does not stick to the sides of the bowl.
  • Lightly dust a work surface with flour.
  • Shape the dough into a large log and cut into thirds. Then cut each third in half, for a total of 6 pieces. Cut each portion in half again, and then one more time. You’ll end up with 24 pieces all roughly the same size.
  • Form dough pieces into small balls.
  • Lightly butter a 12″ cast-iron skillet.
  • Add dough balls. Let rise for 20 minutes or until they double in size.
  • Brush tops of dough with melted butter.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Brush with more melted butter and sprinkle with salt.
