Cheesy pull-apart flower bread

  • 5 ingredients
  • 9 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 large round loaf
  • 200 g grated cheese (any cheese you like)
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (oregano, thyme, rosemary or any herb you like)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Step-by-step preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C.
  2. With a serrated knife, slice the bread without cutting all the way through to the bottom.
  3. Turn the bread 90 degrees and slice again, without cutting through to the bottom.
  4. Repeat until the whole loaf is cut into a grid.
  5. Gently open up the bread so the pieces are separated but still joined at the base.
  6. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the herbs and a little salt and pepper.
  7. Spoon the herb butter between the slices and sprinkle the grated cheese over the bread, making sure it gets into all the gaps.
  8. Bake for about 15–20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and golden.
  9. Serve hot and enjoy your pull-apart flower bread.

Enjoy an easy, impressive cheese and herb pull-apart bread. Try different cheeses and herbs, or add chopped garlic or thinly sliced onion for more flavor.
