This Cheesy Bacon Stuffed Garlic Bread Wreath is a golden, pull-apart bread ring filled with melted cheese, crispy bacon, and garlic butter. It’s the perfect savory centerpiece for holidays, parties, or cozy dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (13.8 oz) refrigerated pizza dough (or homemade bread dough)
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • ½ cup cream cheese, softened
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (or 1 tsp dried Italian herbs)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 egg + 1 tbsp water (for egg wash)
  • Optional: 2 tbsp grated Parmesan for topping

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Bacon

  • Cook bacon until crispy in a skillet or oven.
  • Let it cool, then chop it into small pieces. Set aside.

Step 2: Make the Garlic Butter

  • In a bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.

Step 3: Prepare the Dough

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle (about 10×14 inches) on a floured surface.

Step 4: Assemble the Filling

  • Spread softened cream cheese over the dough.
  • Sprinkle the mozzarella and chopped bacon evenly on top.
  • Drizzle or brush half of the garlic butter mixture over the filling.

Step 5: Roll and Shape

  • Roll the dough up tightly, starting from the long edge, to form a log.
  • Slice the log lengthwise down the center to expose the filling.
  • Twist the two halves together (cut side facing up), then shape into a circle/wreath.
  • Carefully transfer it onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and pinch the ends to seal the circle.

Step 6: Add Final Touches

  • Brush the wreath with egg wash.
  • Spoon the remaining garlic butter over the top.
  • Optionally, sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top for extra flavor.

Step 7: Bake

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8: Cool & Serve

 

  • Let the bread cool slightly before slicing or pulling apart.
  • Serve with warm marinara, ranch, or garlic dip on the side!
