Aromatic PPO pull apart bread !! ( paprika parsley n oregano)

Paprika, parsley, oregano pull apart bread

This pull apart bread flavored with infused oil is made from scratch . It is fun making everything from scratch and the sense of achievement you get when it comes out of the oven is out of the world. I prefer to bake this one as it saves me from the hassle of slicing 😉 It works great for my kiddos too , as they can just tear it off  and enjoy the delicious flavorful bread. It is so good that your kids will ask you to make more. You might think that this process is too laborious ...No , not at all. This is easy to make but what i don't like is the time  it takes to proof during winters. 

This is a parsley, paprika and oregano pull apart bread  but you can try other herbs too. I baked achaari version too and it is to die for.. So soft , full of flavor and well risen bread !!!
