Cheese Garlic Crack Bread Pull Apart Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Put the garlic cloves on a square of heavy foil, drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle on some salt and pepper. Wrap it up and bake until the garlic is golden, nutty and mushy, about 1 hour. Let cool. Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
• Mix the garlic together with the 4 cheeses, chives, crushed red pepper flakes and some black pepper in a bowl.
• Cut the bread in strips in one direction, being careful not to cut all the way through the loaf. Rotate the bread 90 degrees and cut in the other direction. Stuff the cheese mixture in between the rows. Drizzle the melted butter all over the top.
• Wrap in foil and bake for 25 minutes. Open up the foil and bake until the cheese is hot and bubbly, another 10 minutes. Serve immediately.

• In a small bowl, combine the butter, parsley, garlic powder and garlic salt. Cut dough into 1-in. pieces; dip into butter mixture. Layer in a greased 9x5-in. loaf pan. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour. , Bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until golden brown.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350F Combine butter, garlic & salt in a heatproof bowl and melt in the microwave. Stir thru parsley. Cut the bread on a diagonal into 1" diamonds but do not cut all the way thru. Use your fingers or a knife to pry open each crack and drizzle in a teaspoon of butter and stuff in a pinch of cheese. No need to be neat but it's nice to have some of the butter drizzled over the crust. Wrap with foil and bake for 15 min till the cheese has mostly melted, then unwrap and bake for 5 mins more to make the bread nice and crusty. Serve immediately TO MAKE AHEAD: After wrapping with foil, wrap with cling wrap as well. Store in the fridge overnight or freeze to store for longer. To cook, thaw then follow recipe instructions to bake. The denser the bread the better the peices will hold together when pulled off. NOTE: Use already baked bread, not uncooked bread dough.
