Cheesy pull-apart bread
This gooey, pull-apart cheese bread is the perfect dish to entertain at parties. Best of all, as the above video shows, it’s so easy to make!
Ingredients:
• 1 crusty round or oblong loaf, such as country bread or sourdough
• 110g Monterey Jack (or other melting cheese such as Mozzarella)
• 85g unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 6 spring onions, finely chopped both white and green parts
Method:
1. Preheat your oven to 180⁰C.
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment and place the loaf of bread on it. (Alternatively, if you wrap the bottom of the loaf in foil, you can bake it directly on the oven rack without using a baking sheet.) Cut evenly spaced diagonal slits in the bread ¾ of the way to the bottom of the loaf but not all the way through. Turn the loaf the other direction and cut evenly spaced diagonal slits perpendicular to the original cuts.
3. Cut thin slices of the cheese (you could use shredded cheese too) and wedge them in between the cut pieces of bread.
4. Mix together the softened butter, garlic cloves, salt and chopped green onions to form a paste.
5. Spoon the butter mixture over top the cheese and in between the rows.
6. Cover the top with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil, increase the temperature to 200⁰C and bake the loaf five more minutes, until the cheese has completely melted and the top of the bread has browned slightly.
