This Garlic & Sundried Tomato White Pizza Hasselback Bread is slightly reminiscent of Texas toast, just jazzed up, taken to the next level, and with a cheesy white pizza flair. Crusty on the outside, soft and tender on the inside; this pull apart party loaf is exactly how bread should taste!
White Pizza Hasselback bread-3Last year hasselback potatoes and pull apart party bread were a huge hit and swept across the World Wide Web with a craze. I do not know who pulled an anti-Billy Joel and started that fire, but it seems to be burning well into 2015. Maybe it’s because the world keeps turning? Anyways, both of those popular dishes were my inspiration for today’s final Super Bowl snack.

PicMonkey Collage2The flavored garlic butter drizzled and baked onto the bread, prior to stuffing, produces a scrumptious garlic loaf that could be devoured as is. However, I am not one to just let things be, especially when cheese can be added.White Pizza Hasselback bread-8The addition of the white pizza stuffing throughout yields a cheesy loaf that is seriously divine. The ricotta gives the interior of the bread a creamy texture, while the provolone and mozzarella provide endless, stringy cheese decadence.

The incorporation of sundried tomatoes and fresh chopped basil to the mix send this hasselback party bread right over the edge and into O.M.G, must have seconds, territory.White Pizza Hasselback bread-18White Pizza Hasselback bread-20I am not a sharer when it comes to food. I’d sooner slap your hand away, lovingly of course, than share. However, do not mind me if I help myself to your plate of food. I mean sharing is caring, it just happens to be a one way street (in my world at least).

To avoid any conflict created by needing to keep up ladylike appearances, and sharing, I decided to make these party pull apart loaves individual style. This also helps alleviate me you from looking like a pig when I’ve you’ve inhaled the entire loaf before guests arrive. You can go ahead and thank me later for this genius idea. 😉White Pizza Hasselback bread-25If you would like to get super creative for your super bowl party, you could use tomato paste to pipe football strings on top of the mini hasselback loaves. I totally meant to do that, but the bread was warm, cheesy and calling out my name, “Cheyanne, please devour me with abandon!” I got distracted by this temptress of a party bread and forgot. Opps!White Pizza Hasselback bread-16White Pizza Hasselback bread-31I know you want to dive, face first, into this crunchy, tender, buttery, cheesy hasselback party bread, so I’ll leave you to get to it. Cheers and happy snacking!

  • Slice straight down into bread, stopping just before cutting all the way through, making about ½’’ thick slices. Repeat with all the loaves to form hasselback bread.
