A quick and easy cheesy garlic pull apart bread. Serve it up as a fun party food!
Ingredients
You will need the following to make this:
- Loaf of Bread - about 9x4 inches or 23x10 cm. I used French-style crunchy bread.
- Butter
- Garlic - fresh chopped
- Italian Seasoning OR Oregano
- Cheese - I like to use grated cheddar, mozzarella, or pizza cheese. You can use soft fresh mozzarella or any other string cheese too. For a gourmet version use camembert or brie.
This is what I added to mine. Here are some more ideas if you want to enhance yours all the more.
At this point, you could also choose to add some cured meats such as smoked bacon, ham, and salami. Cut them small and stuff the meat into the cut open loaf.
If you add some tomato sauce it will turn into a pizza pull apart bread.
How to make it?
You will take about 10 mins to prep and 20mins to bake this bread.
Here is an overview of how it's done. The details are in the printable recipe card further below.
Step 1
Cut bread loaf into a grid pattern.
Step 2
Melt butter with chopped garlic. Add seasoning to that
Step 3
Pour garlic butter into bread and stuff with cheese.
Step 4
Wrap stuffed loaf into aluminum and bake for 10 mins covered.
Uncover and finish baking for another 10 mins.
Serving
Once you are done baking your bread, take it out of your aluminum on a serving plate.
Place it into the center of a table or at the self-service station so that your guests can pull out their cheesy bits.
It makes a fun savory party appetizer or a game day snack.
I like to garnish mine with some sliced fresh chives. That's for flavor and to add color contrast.
