Ingredients

• 1 frozen white bread loaf thawed (Rhodes or similar)
• 6 tablespoon butter melted
• 1 0.4 oz dry buttermilk ranch dressing mix divided
• 8 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
• 12 slices pepper-jack cheese
• 1 green onion thinly sliced
• Ingredients for the dip:
• ⅔ cup real mayonnaise
• ⅔ cup sour cream
• reserved dry buttermilk ranch dressing mix

Instructions

• Thaw the bread overnight in the refrigerator. The bread dough should be thawed but still cold.
• Spray a Bundt pan with cooking spray and set aside.
• On a non-stick surface, roll the bread into a 20-22 inch long rope.
• Mix together the melted butter and 2 teaspoon dry buttermilk ranch dressing mix until the seasonings dissolve. Brush the seasoned butter on all sides of the bread dough.
• Shape the dough into a circle and fit into the Bundt pan, pinching the ends together. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise in a draft free place for around 2 hours or until doubled in size.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F and bake for 22-25 minutes until lightly golden.
• Remove from the oven and cool. Use a bread knife to make cuts lengthwise across the bread. Be careful not to cut completely through to the bottom.
• Turn the loaf and repeat, cutting crosswise approximately 1 inch apart.
• Brush the interior, top and sides of the bread with the remaining seasoned butter. Sprinkle the bacon crumbles between the bread cuts, reserving some for the top.
• Cut or tear each slice of cheese into 4 pieces and tuck the cheese between each cut.
• Sprinkle the top with thinly sliced green onion and bacon.
• Place onto a parchment lined baking sheet and return to the oven.
• Bake at 350°F for 5-8 minutes until the cheese has melted. Serve hot with buttermilk ranch dip.
• To prepare the dip: Mix together ⅔ cup real mayonnaise, ⅔ cup sour cream and the reserved dry ranch buttermilk dressing mix. Mix well. Chill until serving.
