How do you make pull apart bread?
This recipe starts with a loaf of bakery bread – you can choose your favorite type such as French, Italian or sourdough. The bread is cut diagonally, then filled with a mixture of garlic butter, herbs and plenty of cheese. The loaf bakes in the oven until the cheese is melted. Serve your bread immediately, and watch it disappear!
Tips for pull apart bread
This bread can be assembled up to 4 hours before you plan to bake it. Store your bread covered in the refrigerator, and add a few extra minutes to the baking time. Make sure you don’t cut all the way through the loaf when you’re making your cross-hatch pattern. You want the loaf to stay together in the oven, so stop cutting when you hit the start of the bottom crust. You can use any type of cheese you like for this recipe, some great options include cheddar, Monterey Jack, fontina or Swiss.

You can add so many different ingredients to this bread to make your own creation! You can stuff the bread with up to 1/4 cup of any of the following flavorings.
