Description
Cranberry Feta Sourdough Pull-Apart Bread is a festive, cheesy, and tangy bread made with sourdough, cranberries, and feta, brushed with melted butter and thyme for a golden holiday centerpiece.
Ingredients
• 500 g sourdough bread dough (store-bought or homemade)
• 1/2 cup dried cranberries (60 g)
• 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (100 g)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (30 g), melted
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (optional, 2 g)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Place sourdough loaf on a cutting board and cut deep crosshatch slits without slicing through completely.
3. Stuff feta crumbles and dried cranberries into the slits of the bread.
4. Brush the loaf generously with melted butter mixed with thyme.
5. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15–20 minutes until golden and cheese is melted.
6. Serve warm at the table, letting guests pull apart pieces.
Notes
– Day-old sourdough works best for sturdiness and easy cutting.
– Substitute goat cheese for feta or use dried cherries instead of cranberries.
– Soak very dry cranberries in warm water or orange juice before using.
– For extra gooey texture, add mozzarella or gruyere with the feta.
– Wrap leftovers tightly in foil and reheat in the oven for best results.
