Why we love it
Pull-out bread makes a delicious appetizer that always looks impressive if you are having a party. It is the sort of treat that is gobbled up in minutes, fresh out of the oven as soon as you put it down.
One key to making pull-out bread is to use a knife with a serrated blade in order to make the cuts. I’ve tried it with other knives, and it is much more difficult. Use the pointy end to break past the crust, and then the serrated edge to slice through.
In addition, perhaps the most complicated part is to ensure that the pull-out bread fits into your air fryer. I have a rather large ninja air fryer which accommodates most large breads, but you may need to cut off the sides of the bread if your air fryer is smaller.
What to serve with it?
This air fryer cheesy pull-apart bread makes for wonderful finger food to tear off and munch on. You can serve it along side other finger foods like this prosciutto ham canapés or these delicious pork-belly bites.
Can you prepare it in advance?
This cheesy pull-apart bread can easily be prepared at least a few hours in advance. Just keep it at room temperature on the countertop and heat it up in the air fryer at 360°F (180°C) for 2-3 minutes when ready to eat.
