EQUIPMENT
Dutch Oven
INGREDIENTS
24-25 dinner rolls
½ cup butter cubed pieces
3 tsp garlic salt
3 tsp Italian seasoning blend
1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1-2 tbsp olive oil or any cooking oil to grease the Dutch oven
INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare the fire pit by heating 25 charcoal briquettes. Meanwhile, thaw the rolls so that they are soft enough to cut into pieces. Also, grease a 12-inches campfire Dutch oven on the base and sides with olive oil.
Now, using scissors cut 10 thawed rolls into 3-4 pieces using scissors and lay them on the oil-greased cold Dutch oven. Then, place 1/3 butter cubes and ¼ cup each of Parmesan & mozzarella cheese in between the roll pieces. Sprinkle 1 tsp garlic salt, & 1 tsp Italian seasoning blend on top.
Next, cut 7-8 thawed rolls into pieces and prepare the second layer. Repeat putting 1/3 butter cubes & ¼ cup each of Parmesan & mozzarella cheese, and sprinkle a teaspoon each of garlic salt & Italian seasoning blend on top.
Arrange the 3rd layer similarly with the remaining roll pieces, butter, ¼ cup of both cheeses, and seasonings. Save the leftover cheese for later.
After that cover the Dutch oven with the lid and keep aside for about half an hour till they double in size.
Make a bed of 8 hot charcoal briquettes and place the campfire Dutch oven on it. Put the remaining 17 hot charcoal briquettes on the lid. Bake for 25 minutes.
Carefully remove the lid and sprinkle the leftover shredded Parmesan & Mozzarella cheese. Cover with the lid and continue to bake for 5 more minutes till the cheese melts and the top looks golden brownish.
Finally, remove the lid and take off the Dutch oven from the heat.
Relish the “Pull Apart Garlic Bread” after a few minutes when warm enough to touch.
NOTES
Tips - While thawing the dinner rolls ensure not to leave them out for too long. • After layering, ensure there is enough room for the bread to fluff up and bake without touching the lid. Otherwise, all the cheese will stick to the lid making a mess. • You may check the rolls after 15-20 minutes of baking time as depending on the coal’s temperature the Pull Apart Garlic Bread may cook sooner or slower. So, you may need a few minutes less/more than the 25-30 minutes cook time. Always, check the center, as the edges crisp up but often the center remains under-done. • When cooking in an electric oven, preheat the oven at 350° F. Then, prepare the layers similarly and bake for 20-25 minutes at 350° F.
