Indulge in the ultimate comfort: Bacon-stuffed cheddar pull-apart bread. Gooey, cheesy, crispy goodness perfect for any gathering.
Ingredients
- • All-purpose flour: 3 cups
- • Warm water: 1 cup
- • Instant yeast: 2 1/4 teaspoons
- • Granulated sugar: 1 tablespoon
- • Salt: 1 teaspoon
- • Unsalted butter: 4 tablespoons (softened)
- • Thick-cut bacon: 8 slices
- • Sharp cheddar cheese: 2 cups (shredded)
- • Garlic powder: 1 teaspoon
- • Fresh chives: 2 tablespoons (chopped)
- • Olive oil: 1 tablespoon (for brushing)
- • Sea salt: 1 teaspoon (for topping)
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- 2 In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, instant yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it becomes foamy.
- 3 Add the flour, salt, and softened butter to the yeast mixture. Knead until a soft dough forms, about 5-7 minutes. Cover and let it rise in a warm place for 30-45 minutes or until doubled in size.
- 4 While the dough rises, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Drain on paper towels, then crumble into small pieces.
- 5 Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a large rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Sprinkle the dough evenly with garlic powder, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped chives.
- 6 Cut the dough into strips, then stack the strips on top of each other. Cut the stack into squares and place them vertically in a greased loaf pan.
- 7 Brush the top with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt. Cover loosely and let it rise for another 15 minutes.
- 8 Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly. Let it cool slightly before serving.
Serving Suggestions
- • Serve this luscious pull-apart bread warm from the oven, allowing the cheese to remain perfectly gooey with each pull. Pair it with a creamy tomato bisque or a hearty chili for the ultimate comforting meal. For a delightful beverage pairing, consider serving with a cold, crisp lager or a rich, oaky chardonnay to complement the savory flavors of the bacon and cheese.
Storage Tips
To store leftovers, wrap the bread tightly in aluminum foil or place it in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes to restore its crispy texture and gooey cheese.
