Yellow Brick Road Cheesy Pull-Apart Bread

Recipe Ingredients

Just a handful of simple ingredients (plus a little glittery magic) are all you need to bring this tasty yellow brick road to life.

Pillsbury™ Original Crescent Dough Sheet: The perfect base for this pull-apart bread! It’s flaky and soft, and it’s easy to work with as you create your “road.” If you can’t find it, Pillsbury™ Crescent Rolls will work, but make sure you press the perforations together to make one large rectangle. It may not look as perfect, but it will taste just as good!

Egg: Brushed on top of the dough, it gives the bread a shiny, golden finish.

Italian Cheese Blend: We chose this blend because it pairs well with Italian seasoning and marinara. We wouldn’t recommend using 100% mozzarella cheese for this recipe as it will get too melty and leak out of the dough.

Other Ingredients: Butter and Italian seasoning add rich flavor and give the dough a golden, savory finish. Edible glitter is a super-fun addition, giving the bread a sparkly, magical appearance that fits the Wicked/Oz theme. And we highly recommend serving this cheesy crescent pull-apart bread with marinara sauce for dipping—yum!

How to Make Yellow Brick Road Cheesy Pull-Apart Bread

Follow the road to Oz, one cheesy, pull-apart bite at a time. Here’s a quick overview of what you’ll need to do. Keep reading for the full recipe!

1. Prep the Dough

Start by mixing melted butter with Italian seasoning; it’s the first step in building layers of flavor. Then, cut crescent dough into strips and brush with the butter mixture.

2. Layer the Cheese

Sprinkle Italian cheese blend on half the strips, top with the remaining strips, and press gently to seal.

3. Cut and Arrange

Slice the strips into brick-shaped rectangles, and place them on a baking sheet in an alternating brick-road pattern.

4. Bake

Brush the tops with a quick egg wash; this will help your “road” bake up shiny and golden. Then, bake in a 350°F oven until the bread is deep golden brown.

5. Decorate and Serve

Remove from the oven, brush with more butter, and add optional edible glitter for extra sparkle! Serve warm with marinara for dipping.

How to Store (and Reheat) Yellow Brick Road Cheesy Pull-Apart Bread

We recommend eating this yellow brick road the same day you bake it for the best texture. If you do happen to have some extras, here’s what to do to get its magic back.

Refrigerator

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Freezer

This yellow brick road won’t keep well in the freezer; the dough will become soggy and dense when thawed.

Reheating

Remove bread from the container and reheat on a baking sheet at 350°F for about 10 minutes or until warm.
