Cheesy bacon ranch pull apart bread. The perfect party time appetizer!
Pull apart bread continues to be a hot trend. It is basically a loaf of hard crusted bread that is cut diagonally in both directions and filled with flavored butter, cheese and protein!
It’s easy to make and you can stuff the bread with whatever you like.

Cut the loaf diagonally in a criss cross pattern.
My first attempt at pull apart bread was classic cheesy garlic bread. I made it on Spaghetti night and there wasn’t a piece left! It was easy to pull apart and because the pieces are cut into smaller bites, I didn’t feel guilty about going back for seconds, or thirds.
However cheesy bacon ranch pull apart bread is my absolute favorite! There isn’t anything that combines cheese, bacon and ranch that I don’t like!
It makes a great appetizer for a party and everyone loves the convenience of it being a finger food. An added bonus, clean up is a breeze!

I find it easiest to use a baster to get the butter between the rows.
Fair warning – if you are serving it for a party, you might as well make two because they will be gone fast!
