Tear Away Cheesy Bread Recipes

TEAR-AWAY CHEESY BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• With a large serrated knife, score the bread in 1-inch intervals; turn the loaf and score again creating 1-inch cubes without cutting all the way through. Stuff the shredded cheese evenly into the cut crevices in the bread, and place the loaf on a baking sheet.
• Bake until the cheese is melted and the corners of the bread are turning golden brown and crisp, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool for about 5 minutes.
• Transfer the loaf to a shallow bowl and serve whole at the table for guests to tear apart with their fingers.

CHEESY PULL-APART BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Cut bread widthwise into 1-inch slices to within 1/2 inch from the bottom of the loaf. Repeat cuts in opposite direction. Tear cheese slices into small pieces. Place cheese inside cuts of bread.
• Mix butter, green onions, and poppy seeds. Drizzle over bread, brushing sides of bread with butter mixture. Wrap bread in foil and place on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Unwrap bread and continue to bake until cheese is melted, about 10 minutes.
