Preparation of pull apart cheese bread on the BBQ
To prepare pull apart cheese bread, we need a barbecue with a lid. So you can choose a gas barbecue like the Spring, Siesta or Stella. Of course you can also go for a charcoal barbecue such as a Loewy with dome.
First you melt the butter in a pan and add the garlic, thyme, pepper and salt. Next, slice the bread both horizontally and vertically using a sharp knife. Be careful not to cut all the way through. Leave about the bottom inch whole. Not very hungry or not enough guests coming over? Then use a large pistolet to make mini pull apart bread.
Spread all the slits of the bread with the melted herb butter. Then sprinkle the cheese into the slits. Tuck in some rosemary sprigs here and there.
Light your BBQ and heat up to 180°C. Bake the pull apart cheese bread for 15 minutes with the lid closed or until the cheese is melted.
Delicious!
Endless variations with pull apart bread
You can vary endlessly with pull apart bread! You can fill the slits of the pull apart bread completely according to your own taste. Think of a Mexican pull apart bread with peppers, well seasoned minced meat, cheddar cheese and red beans. Let everything get extra crispy on the BBQ and serve with a jar of guacamole to finish it off! You can also go for a vegetarian version of pull apart bread or how about a sweet pull apart bread with sugar, vanilla, cinnamon or even chocolate?
