Spicy Cheesy Pull Apart Bread Recipes

PULL-APART GARLIC BREAD WITH ASIAGO CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Use a bread knife to cut a cross-hatch pattern into the top of the bread, stopping short of cutting through to the bottom of the loaf (so the loaf holds together).
• Melt the butter in a small skillet over low heat. Add the olive oil and garlic and cook, stirring often, until very pale golden, about 4 minutes. Stir in 3/4 teaspoon salt and the parsley. Remove from the heat.
• Gently separate the cubes of bread from the top of the loaf. Spoon some of the garlic butter in the cuts and spread it over the cut surfaces; use all but 2 tablespoons of the garlic butter for this. Slather the remaining garlic butter on top of the loaf. Distribute the Asiago between the cuts and on top. Wrap the loaf in foil and place it on a baking sheet.
• Bake the bread until heated through, about 10 minutes. Unwrap the foil and continue baking until slightly crisp on the outside, 5 to 7 minutes more. Serve immediately.

BUFFALO RANCH CHICKEN PULL APART BREAD.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Slice the bread horizontally and vertically to create 1 inch cubes, being careful not to actually slice all the way through the bread (see above photo). Transfer to a baking sheet. 2. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic, parsley, and chives. Rub the inside of the bread with the olive oil mix. 3. In a medium mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, ranch dressing, and buffalo sauce until combined. Stir in the chicken, half the cheddar cheese, the blue cheese, and a large pinch of black pepper. Stuff the filling inside the bread, filling in all the spaces in between the cuts, it's ok to pull back a bit on the pieces of bread. Drizzle over a few spoonfuls of additional buffalo sauce, then stuff with the remaining cheddar. 4. Transfer to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the filling is warmed throughout. Serve topped with fresh parsley, additional buffalo sauce, and ranch, if desired. Enjoy...immediately!5. To make the ranch. Combine all ingredients in a glass jar and shake or stir until creamy.

CHEESY RANCH PULL-APART BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350℉.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the melted Challenge butter and the ranch seasoning mix until combined. Set aside.
• Using a serrated knife, cut the boule vertically in a 1-inch grid pattern, taking care not to slice all the way through the bottom of the bread.
• Brush half of the melted ranch butter in all the bread nooks and crannies. Stuff the cheese and bacon in between all of the bread pockets - don't be shy about really getting it in there.
• Pour the remaining butter mixture evenly over the top of the bread.
• Wrap the bread in foil and bake for 15 minutes. Unwrap the foil to expose the bread and bake uncovered again for an additional 10 minutes or until the top is toasted and the cheese is nice and melty.
• Serve immediately.
• Heat grill to 350℉. Place the wrapped bread over indirect heat; close the lid of the grill and cook for 20 minutes. Unwrap the foil to expose the top of the bread and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes with the lid of the grill closed.

SPICY CHEESY PULL-APART BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a 6-inch cast-iron skillet with canola oil spray.
• Remove the biscuits from the package and lay them out on a clean work surface. Gently pull the layers apart at the middle to divide the biscuits in half. Gently pull each of the halves apart so you are left with four thin, round biscuits each (32 in all). Don't worry if any biscuits tear: just press the torn pieces back together.
• Place 1 teaspoon of the mozzarella in the center of each biscuit round; you will use about 1 1/2 cups of the mozzarella for this. Fold the dough around the cheese and roll into balls. Arrange the balls in a circle around the edge of the prepared skillet, then work your way in until you have completely filled the cast-iron pan with the dough balls. If you start to run out of room as you get closer to the center of the skillet, gently push the dough from the center towards the edges of the pan to make more space.
• Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Once melted, stir in the scallions, garlic, red pepper and salt. Cook until the butter is just beginning to brown and the garlic is lightly toasted and very fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vinegar. Pour the melted butter evenly over the top of the dough and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella.
• Bake until the dough is cooked through and golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly, about 10 minutes. Serve in the skillet.
