How To create Savory Bacon Cheese Pull Apart Bread
Preheat the oven to 190 deg. C(375 deg. F) Have some foil ready to wrap the bread up. Use a baking sheet pan to place under the wrapped foil bread. To prevent any leakages of the melting butter from the bread, and to make it so much easier to handle when taken out of the oven.
Add the butter to a small bowl, melt in the microwave for about 30 seconds, then stir in the garlic. If you do not have a microwave melt it in the warming up oven in a oven proof bowl. Until melted. Mix the cheeses ( mix mozzarella and cheddar cheese for a sharper taste and color) and cooked bacon pieces, add altogether in a medium bowl.



Place the bread on a large sheet of foil on a baking sheet. Cut diagonal slices into the bread, stopping before you cut completely through. Repeat with diagonal slices the other way. Brush butter mixture into all the cracks, as much as you can to soak into the deeper parts of the bread cuts. Then fill the cracks with the bacon and cheese mixture. Wrap the bread in the foil (keeping it on the baking sheet), and bake for 15 minutes.
Remove the foil, then bake for an additional 5 minutes. To brown the tops and melt the cheese a little more. Add some Italian herbs or oregano or even parsley herbs on for more flavor.

Serve warm by itself or with marinara sauce. Any dip of your choice and your favorite cheese or sauce.

Makes a delicious and flavorful appetizer or starter before any family or get together meals held. Versatile to add as a side dish with soups and stews.
