Basil Cheese Pull-Apart Breadsticks

By GrandmaFred

Basil Cheese Sourdough pull-apart loaf

Ingredients

• 1 lb. round loaf sourdough bread, unsliced
• 1/2 c. margarine
• 1-2 tsp. basil leaves, chopped
• 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
• 1/2 c. grated fresh Parmesan cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Slice bread into 1 1/2 inch slices, cutting to but not through the bottom of the loaf. Slice again in the opposite direction (criss-crossing the first cuts), forming "breadsticks".

Place loaf on sheet of heavy-duty foil. Melt margarine; stir in basil and garlic powder. Drizzle margarine mixture between breadsticks and over the top of the loaf. Sprinkle with cheese. Wrap securely with double-fold seal.

Heat oven to 375 degrees and bake for 10-12 minutes or until cheese is melted and bread is hot.

Or, place bread on barbecue grill. Heat 15-25 minutes or until cheese is melted and bread is hot.


To serve, let guests pull "breadsticks" from the loaf.
