Garlic Pull apart Loaf Bread

Long time back,it was a Garlic Pull apart roll recipe which gave me so much confidence for baking bread.Yeast was an ingredient I wasn't familiar with and it took sometime before I got comfortable with it.But once you start getting friendly with yeast,there's no looking back.There are so many bread recipes available online that you will be trying one after the other!

This is one such recipe by Rianzabakes.First time I tried this recipe,I made a sweet version with cinnamon sugar filling and brushed with simple syrup.That turned out so good that I decided to try the savory version rightaway.

Here I have a made a simple one with a garlic butter filling which turned out amazing,but you can try it with so many other fillings as well.It is an amazing base recipe from which you can make different variations of the same bread.
