Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (454 g) refrigerated biscuit dough (or 454 g homemade dough)
- ½ cup (120 ml) grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup (240 ml) shredded mozzarella cheese (optional, for extra cheesiness)
- ¼ cup (60 ml) unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsps fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preparation: Slice refrigerated biscuits into compact quadrants, ensuring uniform size for consistent cooking and texture.
- Seasoning Fusion: Immerse dough pieces in a lavish blend of melted butter, aromatic garlic, zesty Italian herbs, rich Parmesan, and subtle salt and pepper, thoroughly coating each morsel.
- Crockpot Arrangement: Create a strategic layering within the slow cooker, first lining with parchment paper or applying generous grease, then methodically distributing the herb-infused dough pieces, interspersing optional mozzarella between strata for enhanced gooey complexity.
- Slow Cooking Process: Secure the crockpot lid and activate high-temperature setting, allowing bread to transform for approximately 2 hours, monitoring doneness around 90 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the central section.
- Finalization and Presentation: Once golden and thoroughly cooked, garnish with vibrant chopped parsley and additional Parmesan, presenting the aromatic bread alongside complementary marinara or garlic butter for an indulgent dipping experience.
Notes
- Ensure biscuit pieces are well-coated but not overly saturated with butter to maintain a crisp, fluffy interior when cooking in the crockpot.
- Layer mozzarella sparingly between dough pieces to create pockets of gooey cheese without making the bread too dense or wet.
- Check the bread early and use the toothpick test to prevent dryness; slow cookers can vary in heat intensity, so monitor closely after 90 minutes.
- Substitute regular biscuits with gluten-free alternatives or use homemade dough for a fresher, more controlled ingredient profile that suits specific dietary restrictions.
