Tailgating Pull Bread

Football season is here, and whether it's college football or pro football, tailgating is popular and awesome. So here's a simple recipe for some pull bread to share with your friends at a tailgating party, or hoard it all for yourself at home and tell everyone else to piss off.

Skill level: Easy
Chance of burning the house down: None-Low (cook it on a grill.. then your house is safe)


Stuff you need:

- 1 loaf sourdough bread, unsliced, from the bakery section of the grocery store
- 1/2 cup olive oil (I promise vegetable oil will not taste as good... don't skimp on this, spend the extra dollar at the store and get a bottle)
- 2-3 cloves of garlic, or minced garlic
- 1 bunch scallions, chopped
- Italian spices
- Whatever kind of shredded cheese you want. Monterey jack and colby jack are good but use what you'd like


Instructions:

1. Pre-heat oven to 350

2. Cut a grid in the bread, stopping about 1/4in from the bottom so it stays together.

3.  Stir together the olive oil, scallions, garlic and spices. Separate the bread gently with your fingers and drizzle mix in the crevasses.

4. Wrap loaf in foil and bake for 10 minutes

5. Remove from oven and turn heat up to 425

6. Open foil and stuff cheese into the cross hatches of the bread as far down as possible.

7. Return to oven unwrapped and bake until cheese is bubbly.


You can also make this on a grill as well... same process, wrap in foil, place on grill.. bake. take off, bake unwrapped on the grill again. This is also great with pieces of crumbled bacon in it or ham and onions.
