Cheesy Mushroom Pull-apart Bread – Savoury bread delight

Bread makes the world go round and bread is and always has been all over the world. We all have a favourite bread that we enjoy with soup, sandwiches or just a good serving of butter. There are sweetbreads, savoury breads, loaves of bread, rolls of bread and flatbread, just to name a few. We bring you a real savoury treat to serve to your friends at your next summer braai. Our Cheesy Mushroom Pull-apart Bread is great with the main meal or as a delicious snack with preserves, cheese or pâtés.

Mushrooms make a perfect ingredient to a savoury bread while garlic and herb butter just adds that amazing buttery flavour we love with a good garlic punch. The steps are easy to follow and great to roll out the balls of dough with a friend or two. We suggest serving the bread warm, but nothing is stopping you from slicing it up and enjoying it with preserves, pâté and cheese for starters. Good savoury bread is always a winner and you’ll probably have more of this great meal than you think, but eating a lot is what a braai is about, right?

Summer braais need something special, and what’s more special than warm savoury bread. Try our Cheesy Mushroom pull-apart Bread during the holidays.
