Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 oval loaf of sourdough or ciabatta bread
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
  • 2 tablespoons dry ranch seasoning
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese ((or 8 thick slices))
  • 1/2 cup chopped cooked bacon

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Place bread on a large sheet of aluminum foil.
  • Cut the bread diagonally with a bread knife, making sure not to cut through the bottom of the loaf.
  • Cut the bread diagonally again, this time in the opposite direction. Make sure to not cut all the way through again. The second cut will give you the squares or rectangles that will be pulled out after baking.
  • Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl and mix in the ranch seasoning. 
  • Pour the ranch seasoning in the crevices of the cut bread, moving pieces to make sure you cover all the holes.  
  • Place the cheese and bacon in the crevices of the bread, making sure to cover any open spots. You want all the crevices to be covered in cheese.  
  • Wrap in foil and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the top is golden brown.
  • Remove, allow to cool slightly and serve!
