Ingredients

Pull-aparts:

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 350° F/175° C. Place 4 large squares of aluminum foil (shiny side up) on cookie sheets and lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray
  • Place bun in centre of foil. Cut buns, using serrated bread knife, in grid pattern, about 4 rows each way ( lengthwise and widthwise),  spacing about ½ -inch between rows.  Do not cut all the way through bottom crust. Set aside.
  • Finely chop jalapenos and bacon bits and mix together. Spoon mixture in between slices in bun- try to get a little into all the spaces.
  • Slice each cheese slice into 4-6 strips and put into sliced rows. Again, try to get small pieces into all the spaces where the bread is cut.
  • Combine melted butter and dry ranch dressing in bowl.
  • Drizzle butter/ranch mixture over buns, dividing between all 4 buns

  • Pull foil up meeting the ends at the top and sealing as much as possible - try to avoid pressing against the bun.
  • Bake for 12 minutes, then unwrap and return to oven for an additional 3-5 minutes, until cheese is bubbly and the bun is a light golden brown. Serve with Warm Artichoke Pizza Dip (https://foodmeanderings.com/baked-artichoke-pizza-dip/)

Notes

 
🍽 Equipment
All you need for this recipe is a baking sheet. However, I do recommend you use a bread knife (affiliate link). It makes cutting bread so much easier.
🌡️Storing
Fridge: Store this pull apart cheese bread in a sealed container for up to 3 days. If you want to make them a day in advance, you're best to prep them, wrap them in foil and put them in the fridge overnight until you're ready to cook them.
Reheating: Reheat in the microwave for about 45 seconds-2 minutes (depending on your microwave) or rewrap in foil and warm in oven on 275 degrees F for about 15 minutes or until warmed.
