I think everything made with Nutella is still going strong. Although I have yet to jump on that bandwagon. I

first tasted the hazelnut/chocolate spread when we lived in Germany (over ten years ago!), and to me it was tasty, but not so much that I want it in everything or in much of anything!

I know, so not hip. Sorry Nutella lovers!

Of course I had to add my own twist. I used my homemade nacho cheese sauce and added Italian sausage and diced jalapeños. I also served it two different ways. Instead of one large loaf of bread I used two mini loafs. The first mini loaf I scored into pull apart pieces and spooned the cheese through the crevices. The second boule I used as a bowl and served it with diced up bread for dipping.

There are so many other variations that you can try too. How about adding BACON!

Ingredients

  • 1 large or two mini sourdough boules
  • 1/2 pound Italian sausage cooked and crumbled
  • 2 jalapeños diced (seeds left in will add more heat)
  • [Nacho Cheese Sauce]

Instructions

  • Stir in cooked sausage and diced jalapeños and keep on simmer. Stir often.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • Score the bread in 1/2 inch slices and keep the bottom the of bread bowl intact. Fan open the cut bread, and place small pieces of foil in the crevices to help keep the soft bread exposed. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. (drying out the bread forms a slight crust so the cheese sauce doesn't make the bread soggy too quickly).
  • Remove from oven carefully remove the foil. Spoon cheese sauce in the crevices (you'll need some help with this). Serve right away.

  1. It’s hard to believe but I have never made a pull apart bread. It is on my list of must makes and yours has pushed me over the edge. Headed to the store for the bread tomorrow as my husband would love this for his Father’s Day dinner.

  2. So, I think I just drooled on my keyboard a little – thanks for that, lol! 😉 This looks amazing! I really do have to try my hand at one of these cheesy pull-apart breads I keep seeing everywhere. This one definitely looks like a good place to start!
