I made a new version of this Cinnamon Pull Bread and Cake Batter Pull Bread for them to sample. I had quite a few of them RAVE about how delicious this easy appetizer was.

This appetizer whips up in minutes and is a crowd pleaser! Seriously, it is SO delicious!
Recipe type: Appetizer
Ingredients
  • 1 round loaf Sourdough bread, unsliced
  • ¾ cup butter, melted
  • 2 Tbsp. ranch dressing mix, dry, do not prepare
  • 5 strips bacon, cooked and finely chopped
  • ½ to 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, may need more depending on how cheese you want it
Instructions
  1. Slice bread to make ½ to 1-inch sections slicing almost all the way to the bottom of the loaf. Be careful not to cut too far or to cut through. I used a serrated knife and cut on inch slices all the way down the width way of the loaf. Then I used my kitchen sheers to snip the ½ to 1-inch sections on each row, just to avoid any of them tearing off. Place loaf on cookie sheet.
  2. Combine melted butter and ranch dressing mix and stir to evenly combine.
  3. Evenly pour and distribute melted butter/ranch dressing mix between each of the sections, making sure to get in-between each one. Trust me, you want the buttery goodness :) If you need more butter, simply melt as much more as needed.
  4. Evenly distribute the cooked and finely chopped bacon between each of the sections.
  5. Evenly distribute the cheddar cheese between each of the sections, adding more cheese if needed.
  6. Cover bread loosely with foil.
  7. Bake at 350 for about 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes.

Enjoy!

    The only thing that would make this better is some shredded buffalo chicken! I know that might not make it as convenient but boy does it sound tasty!
