Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 (16.3 ounce) cans Pillsbury Grands Southern Homestyle Biscuits
  • ½ cup (1 stick) salted butter, melted
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely minced or grated (about 1 tablespoon)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (or 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil (or 1 teaspoon dried basil)
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh chives (or 1 teaspoon dried chives)
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for a subtle kick)
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Optional garnish: additional chopped fresh herbs
  • Optional, for serving: warm marinara

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a bundt pan or spray with nonstick cooking spray.

Prep the Butter Mixture

  • In a large bowl, stir together the melted butter, garlic, parsley, basil, chives, salt, and red pepper flakes.

Cut and Coat Biscuits

  • Separate the biscuits and cut each one into quarters. Add the biscuit pieces to the butter mixture; stir gently to coat. Stir in the Parmesan.

Arrange in the Pan

  • Place the coated biscuit pieces evenly in the prepared bundt pan.

Bake

  • Place in the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, until golden brown on top and cooked through in the center. To check for doneness, use a fork to gently pull apart a piece near the center (if it separates easily, the bread is fully baked). If the top starts to brown too quickly before it’s cooked through, cover loosely with foil.

Cool and Serve

  • Let the bread cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate. Garnish with extra fresh herbs, if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

  • For a smaller batch, cut all of the ingredients in half (using just 1 can of biscuit dough) and bake the bread in a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan. Cooking time remains the same.
  • Room temperature biscuits cut more easily; let them sit for 5-10 minutes before separating.
  • Fresh garlic gives the best flavor. Use a microplane or fine grater for even distribution.
  • Don't overmix when coating the biscuit pieces; gentle stirring is enough.
  • Grease your bundt pan well (including all the crevices) to prevent sticking.
  • Check doneness in the center, not just the top.
  • Cover loosely with foil if the top browns too quickly, usually around the 25-minute mark.
  • Let the bread cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before inverting to help it set and release cleanly.
  • Dried herbs work too: use 1 teaspoon each of dried parsley, basil, and chives instead of fresh.
  • Make ahead: assemble up to 4 hours ahead, refrigerate, then bake (add 5-10 minutes to bake time).
