Cheesy Pull-Apart Crack Bread
Cheesy Pull-Apart Crack Bread is a bread lattice infused with a garlic herb butter mixture and stuff with mozzarella cheese. It's called crack bread for a reason ;) and is perfect for the a Super Bowl Game Watch.
Ingredients
- 1 artisan loaf of bread (I used a tuscan loaf)
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
Butter Mixture
- 1 stick butter unsalted
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
Instructions
Slice the bread
- In order to achieve the lattice shape, use a serrated bread knife to cut the bread vertically and then horizontally (see video for example). Be careful not to slice all the way through.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Make the butter mixture
- Microwave the butter for 30 seconds - 1 minute to melt.
- Mince one clove of garlic.
- Add garlic and Italian seasoning into the melted butter and stir.
Combine the bread, butter, and cheese.
- Pour the butter mixture into each crevice of the bread. If you don't feel as though the bread is soaked through, you can always melt more butter and pour in.
- Stuff each crevice with mozzarella until all the crevices are filled.
Bake
- Put the bread on a sheet pan and bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees. (Don't put it into the oven until you're about to serve! If you are waiting to bring it somewhere, bake it at the destination and then serve).
- Put the loaf on a serving plate and serve to guests immediately after!
