Easy Camembert Pull Apart Wreath
This bread wreath is a fantastic appetizer, great for sharing with friends and family. It features gooey Camembert cheese surrounded by soft, herby bread, perfect for dipping.
Key Ingredients & Tips for the Camembert Wreath
- Use a good Camembert: A ripe Camembert will melt perfectly in the center, creating a creamy focal point.
- Pre-made dough is your friend: Using store-bought pizza dough or crescent roll dough makes this recipe super quick.
- Fresh herbs make a difference: Rosemary and thyme pair beautifully with the cheese and bread. Don’t skip them!
What You Need for Your Camembert Wreath
- 1 round Camembert cheese (approx. 8 oz)
- 1 lb store-bought pizza dough or 2 cans crescent roll dough
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Honey or cranberry sauce for serving
⏱️ Time: 40 minutes🍽️ Yields: 6-8 servings
How to Make Your Camembert Pull Apart Wreath
Step 1: Get Ready
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Step 2: Assemble the Wreath
If using pizza dough, roll it out and cut into small squares or strips. If using crescent roll dough, separate triangles and cut them in half. Place the Camembert in the center of the prepared baking sheet. Arrange the dough pieces around the cheese in a circular wreath shape, overlapping them slightly. Brush the dough generously with the herb butter mixture.
Step 3: Bake and Serve
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the Camembert is melted and bubbly. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. You can drizzle with a little honey or serve with cranberry sauce if you like.
📝 Final Note
This wreath is best enjoyed warm, right out of the oven, while the cheese is still soft and gooey. Any leftovers can be gently reheated.
Quick Cheesy Garlic Pull Apart Wreath
This cheesy garlic bread wreath is a crowd-pleasing side dish or appetizer. It’s packed with garlic and cheese, making every piece a delightful bite. I often make this for dinner parties.
Key Ingredients & Tips for the Cheesy Garlic Wreath
- Mix your cheeses: A blend of mozzarella for stretch and cheddar for flavor works really well.
- Don’t skimp on the garlic: Fresh minced garlic gives the best flavor. Garlic powder can be used but fresh is better here.
- Use refrigerated biscuit dough: This is a secret weapon for speed and creates soft, fluffy bread.
What You Need for Your Cheesy Garlic Wreath
- 2 (16 oz) cans refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
⏱️ Time: 35 minutes🍽️ Yields: 8-10 servings
How to Make Your Cheesy Garlic Pull Apart Wreath
Step 1: Prep and Mix
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a bundt pan or a round baking dish with cooking spray. In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, oregano (if using), salt, and pepper.
Step 2: Coat and Layer
Separate the biscuit dough into individual biscuits. Cut each biscuit into quarters. Add the biscuit pieces to the butter mixture and toss to coat them evenly. Add the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses and gently toss again to combine everything.
Step 3: Bake the Wreath
Pour the coated biscuit pieces and cheese into the prepared bundt pan or baking dish, arranging them evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through and the cheese is bubbly. Let it cool for a few minutes before inverting onto a serving plate.
📝 Final Note
This garlic bread is best served hot. If you have any leftovers, wrap them tightly and reheat gently in the oven or microwave.
