Indulge in this cheesy bacon-stuffed pull-apart bread, oozing with garlic butter and rich flavors. A comfort food classic reimagined!
Ingredients
- • Bread dough: 1 pound (store-bought or homemade)
- • Bacon: 8 strips, cooked and crumbled
- • Cheddar cheese: 1 cup, shredded
- • Mozzarella cheese: 1 cup, shredded
- • Unsalted butter: 1/2 cup, melted
- • Garlic cloves: 3, minced
- • Fresh parsley: 2 tablespoons, chopped
- • Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
- • Black pepper: 1/4 teaspoon
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2 Roll out the bread dough into a rectangle approximately 12x9 inches. This will be the base of your pull-apart bread.
- 3 In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Brush a generous layer of this garlic butter over the rolled-out dough.
- 4 Evenly sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses over the dough, followed by the crumbled bacon. Be sure to cover the entire surface for maximum flavor.
- 5 Starting from one of the longer edges, carefully roll the dough into a log. Cut the log into 1-inch thick slices and arrange them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, slightly overlapping the slices.
- 6 Brush the remaining garlic butter over the top of the assembled bread. This will ensure a rich, golden crust.
- 7 Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
- 8 Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serving Suggestions
- • This Cheesy Bacon-Stuffed Pull-Apart Bread pairs beautifully with a fresh green salad or a hearty bowl of soup. The bread's rich flavors complement a simple tomato or creamy potato soup perfectly. For an extra indulgent experience, serve it with a side of marinara sauce for dipping. To balance the richness, consider serving with a crisp white wine such as a Sauvignon Blanc or a refreshing iced tea. The acidity and freshness of these beverages will cut through the buttery richness of the bread.
Storage Tips
To store any leftovers, wrap the bread tightly in aluminum foil and refrigerate for up to 3 days. To reheat, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and warm the bread for about 10 minutes. This will help maintain the bread's texture and ensure the cheese remains melted and gooey.
