Okay, so I know Thanksgiving is coming up. And I love Thanksgiving. One of my favorite holidays, actually. Stuffing, turkey, sweet potatoes, green beans….I love it all. However, I also love carbs. And cheese. And homemade bread. So bear with me during this little detour away from all things pumpkin and sage. Italian herb and cheese pull-apart bread is super fun to eat. You pull the flaky layers back to find the hidden gooey cheese and flavorful herbs. It’s melty cheese swathed between soft, tender blankets of bread. This pull apart bread with Italian herbs and spices (and gooey cheese) is the perfect accompaniment to Instant Pot minestrone soup or green lentils with sweet potato and kale. Or try it with Italian sausage stew with white beans and kale. Actually, it’s good with pretty much anything. It might seem intimidating to make, especially if you’re new to baking with yeast, but you can handle this. Believe me! My loaf kind of spilled over the edges of the pan. Which makes me strangely giddy because I’m always afraid my bread isn’t going to rise properly. Plus I think it makes this loaf extra fun. Certainly it looks homemade. Please give this bread recipe a try. It’s so delicious! Try to refrain from eating half the loaf before dinner. It’s so tempting! We had my in-laws over, and while I was in the kitchen finishing up last minute dinner prep, I kept sneaking bites of this bread. Although, I wasn’t too sneaky. My mother-in-law kept catching me in the act.
