Ingredients

  • 1 large loaf sourdough bread loaf (~850 grams)
  • 280 grams (2 1/2 cups) cheddar cheese, freshly shredded
  • 115 grams (1/2 cup) butter, melted
  • 15 grams (1 Tablespoon) ranch seasoning
  • 85 grams (3/4 cup) cooked bacon, chopped or bacon bits
  • 120 grams (1/2 cup) pickled or sliced jalapenos

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350ºF.

  2. 2

    Slice the sourdough bread horizontally and then vertically into 1-inch cubes, not slicing all the way through the loaf.

  3. 3

    Microwave the butter until melted, about 1 minute. Add ranch seasoning and mix.

  4. 4

    Place the loaf of bread on a large sheet of foil. Pour the butter mixture all over the bread.

  5. 5

    Sprinkle 2 cups of cheese all over the loaf, trying to get deep in the cuts.

  6. 6

    Top with bacon, jalapeños, and the remaining shredded cheese.

  7. 7

    Cover the loaf with foil and bake for 15 minutes covered on a sheet pan. Uncover the loaf and bake for an extra 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
