Cheese And Garlic Crack Bread Pull Apart Bread Food

ROASTED GARLIC AND FOUR-CHEESE PULL-APART BREAD

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.

GARLIC AND CHEESE CRACK BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a small saucepan on low heat on the stove, melt butter, then add garlic, salt and pepper.
• Score top of the bread on a diagonal into small diamonds, being sure not to cut all the way through.
• Using your fingers, pry bread cracks open and stuff with brick cheese, being careful not to rip the bread. Using a basting brush, cover the loaf with the garlic butter.
• Top with Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese and sprinkle Italian seasoning on top.
• Bake until golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.

CHEESY PULL-APART GARLIC BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Score the bread with 2-inch-deep cuts with a serrated knife into a 1-inch diamond pattern without slicing all the way through. Place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
• Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the parsley, onion powder, salt and garlic. Brush the butter mixture all over the bread and into the cut diamonds using a pastry brush. Insert the cheese cubes in the crevices of the bread.
• Cover the bread with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, 8 to 10 more minutes. Sprinkle with more fresh parsley. Serve hot!

GARLIC-PARMESAN CHEESE PULL-APART BREAD

Steps:

• Remove the frozen dinner rolls from the freezer and place onto a plate. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and allow the rolls to sit on the counter for 30-45 minutes or so, until the rolls have thawed enough to cut.
• Place the rolls onto a cutting board, and using a sharp knife, cut each roll into quarters.
• Melt one stick of butter in the microwave. Stir the melted butter and seasonings together until blended.
• Add the quartered rolls to the butter, and toss gently to coat. Bread dough is sticky, so you may need to use your hands to gently pull the pieces apart if necessary. You don't want the dough to form clumps, or it will affect how it bakes. Next, add 2/3 cup of grated Parmesan-Romano cheese, reserving the rest for the top. Toss until each piece is coated.
• You can bake this bread in any shape you like, but I usually use a loaf pan. Layer the dough quarters evenly in a standard 9x3x2 inch loaf pan sprayed with cooking spray. The dough pieces naturally stick together due to the butter and cheese, but gently pull apart any clumps of dough to be certain the bread bakes evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of cheese on top and a sprinkle of parsley for color. Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap that has been sprayed with cooking spray. This will keep the bread from sticking to the plastic wrap as it rises.
• Allow to rise in a draft-free, warm place for 2-2 1/2 hours. Then remove the plastic wrap and place into a 350°F preheated oven.
• Bake at 350°F for 18 minutes, then check the top. If baking in a loaf, you may need to lay a piece of aluminum foil over the top of the bread to prevent the cheese and butter on top from over browning while the inside of the loaf fully bakes. Continue to bake the bread for another 5-7 minutes, until the center is completely done, approximately 23-25 minutes total, depending on your oven. Test the center of the rolls using a cake tester or toothpick to be certain the bread is cooked all the way through before removing it from the oven. My favorite way to serve this bread? Straight from the pan piping hot!
• Cook's note:.
• If you're someone who loves for all of the rolls to have that crispy golden top, bake the bread in a round 9 inch spring form or pie pan. Follow the same preparation method and bake for around 22-24 minutes until golden and cooked through.
• Additional baking options:.
• Bundt pan.
• Divide the dough between 2 loaf pans.
• Individual size in standard muffin cups (4 pieces in each).
• 8x8 baking dish.
