Servings: 16 servings
Ingredients
- 1 large loaf sourdough bread loaf ~850 grams
- 280 grams cheddar cheese, freshly shredded 2 ½ cups
- 115 grams butter, melted ½ cup
- 15 grams ranch seasoning 1 Tablespoon
- 85 grams cooked bacon, chopped or bacon bits ¾ cup
- 120 grams pickled or sliced jalapenos ½ cup
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
- Slice the sourdough bread at an angle the entire length of the loaf and then turn it and cut in the opposite direction creating diamond shaped cubes. Cut into 1-inch cubes, not slicing all the way through the loaf.1 large loaf sourdough bread loaf

- Place the loaf of bread on a large sheet of foil. Pour the butter mixture all over the bread.
- Sprinkle 2 cups of cheese all over the loaf, trying to get deep in the cuts.280 grams cheddar cheese, freshly shredded
- Top with bacon, jalapeños, and the remaining shredded cheese.85 grams cooked bacon, chopped or bacon bits, 120 grams pickled or sliced jalapenos
- Cover the loaf with foil and bake for 15 minutes covered on a sheet pan. Uncover the loaf and bake for an extra 5-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
Notes
- I don't recommend using pre-shredded cheese as it won't melt well.
- This recipe used to call for a block of sliced cheese and then more shredded cheese on top. However, I have found the cheese melts easier and quicker when all is shredded.
