Instructions
Creating Bloomin’ Onion Bread is a joyous experience! Follow these easy steps to make your own:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Bread: Place the loaf of sourdough on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, carefully make diagonal cuts across the bread, creating a crisscross pattern without cutting all the way through.
3. Mix the Cheese Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine mozzarella, cheddar, Parmesan, and blue cheese. Add garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and chives. Mix thoroughly.
4. Stuff the Bread: Gently pull back the slices of bread and stuff the cheese mixture into the cuts. Ensure each slice is generously filled.
5. Prepare Garlic Butter: In a separate bowl, mix melted butter with salt and pepper. Brush this mixture generously over the top of the stuffed bread.
6. Wrap in Foil: Wrap the bread in aluminum foil to keep the moisture in while baking.
7. Bake: Place the wrapped bread on a baking sheet and bake for 30-35 minutes. Then unwrap the foil and continue baking for an additional 5-10 minutes to let the top crisp up.
8. Cool and Serve: Once fully baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Serve warm, allowing guests to pull apart the cheesy layers.
By following these steps, you’ll create a Bloomin’ Onion Bread that looks as gorgeous as it tastes!
