Cheddar Bacon Ranch Pull Apart Bread Recipe

Cheddar Bacon Ranch Pull Apart Bread recipe – crispy top with gooey cheese, crunchy bacon and buttery Ranch in every bite! This pull apart bread is THE appetizer to make!

It has been way too long since I shared a cheesy bread recipe with you! It’s time to fix this and bring on the new guy: Bacon Cheddar Ranch Pull Apart Bread.

Get ready to go nuts over this bread because the cheese and bacon situation with buttery ranch bread that’s crispy on top and warm and cheesy in the center is out of this world! I cut a loaf of Italian bread into cubes, drizzled butter with ranch dressing mix all over it, stuffed it with shredded cheddar cheese and perfectly crispy bacon and baked it until it was nice and warm and the cheese melted. The top of each bread cube is crunchy and the center warm and fluffy. SWOON!

One of our favorite dips to make is Cheddar Bacon Ranch Dip. Just recently, I made it again to update the photos for it’s post (you can check it out HERE). It totally inspired me to make another appetizer with the cheddar bacon ranch trio.  It is everything you need and then some. I quickly realized that I haven’t made it into a pull apart bread or cheesy bread yet. In the end, I ended up using the bread I use for my garlic breads (like this Easy Cheesy Garlic Bread or this Easy Pizza Bread) but cut it into cubes the way I cut my pull apart breads (I usually use round sourdough breads to make them). Bingo! BEST.DECISION.EVER.

I need to use this trio in more dishes, that’s for sure. Like pasta! Yes, pasta would be fantastic! 😀
