Easy Cheese Bread Recipe

A few weeks ago I shared my recipe for Cinnamon Roll Pulls, a sweet pull-apart bread. In the post, I mentioned a savory cheesy version. I had several requests for the cheesy bread recipe. Well, you asked for it, you got it! I went with a cheddar bacon ranch bread. I knew these flavors would work well together since they are in my favorite dip, Crack Dip. This bread is crazy good! You MUST make it!

How to Make Cheesy Pull-Apart Bread

This is very easy to make. Start with slicing a round loaf of sourdough bread. You are going to cut the bread going both directions. Do not cut through the bottom crust. It should resemble a Blooming Onion. Next, stuff some cheddar cheese slices and cooked bacon in between the cuts. Mix together some melted butter and ranch dressing mix. Pour it all over the bread. Wrap the bread in foil and bake until the cheese has melted. Remove from the oven and dig in!

Sourdough works best for this pull-apart bread recipe because the loaf is sturdy enough to be cut into squares and not fall apart.
Make sure not to cut all the way through the loaf of bread. Cut it like a blooming onion.
You can make this bread ahead of time and refrigerate it until you are ready to bake.
You can substitute turkey bacon for the pork bacon.

Pull-Apart Crack Bread is Great for a Party

These Cheddar Bacon Ranch Pulls are unbelievably good! My favorite part was the ranch butter that was poured over the loaf. Like the Cinnamon Roll Pulls, this cheesy pull-apart bread is highly addictive. We will refer to this bread as “Crack Bread” from now on! Give it a try at your next gathering. I guarantee everyone will love it!
