Few things beat pulling apart a warm, golden loaf at the table and watching the layers come apart in soft, buttery ribbons. This dough is built from pantry staples ā flour, milk, egg, and butter ā then brushed with a fragrant garlic herb butter made with fresh parsley, oregano, and a hit of Parmesan before being stacked and sliced into those signature pull-apart portions. The technique sounds fancier than it is: roll, brush, stack, slice, and let the oven do the rest. Because the ingredient list is completely straightforward, there's no need to scan labels or worry about unexpected nut additions hiding in a store-bought alternative. The garlic cooks low and slow in butter until just softened, keeping the flavor mellow and aromatic rather than sharp, and the Parmesan melts into every layer as the loaf bakes to a deep, gorgeous brown. It's the kind of bread that disappears fast at a dinner table, so you might want to plan for seconds before you even start.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the warm milk, 1 tsp sugar, and yeast. Stir briefly and let stand for 5ā8 minutes, until foamy and fragrant.
Add the flour, salt, 2 tbsp sugar, and egg to the yeast mixture. Mix on low speed with the dough hook until a shaggy dough forms, about 2 minutes. Increase to medium speed and knead for 5 minutes, then add the softened butter one tablespoon at a time, waiting until each addition is fully incorporated before adding the next. Continue kneading on medium speed for 4ā5 minutes more, until the dough is smooth, slightly tacky, and pulls cleanly away from the sides of the bowl.
