Cheddar Bacon Ranch Pull-apart Bread

1 unsliced round of sourdough bread

8 oz block of cheddar cheese, sliced into thin slices

1/4 lb bacon, cooked & crumbled

1 stick (1/2 cup) butter melted

1/4 tsp dried chives

1/4 tsp dried parsley

1/4 tsp dill weed

1/4 tsp garlic powder

1/8 tsp onion powder

1/8 tsp seasoning salt

Pinch of black pepper

Cut the bread in a cross hatch pattern without cutting all the way through the bottom of the loaf.  Place it on a large piece of foil (large enough to cover & close it).  Place the thin slices of cheese in between the cut slices of bread.  Sprinkle the top with crumbled bacon.  Melt the butter in a large bowl then add the dried herbs & spices.  Mix everything together  and let it sit for a minute.  Pour the butter/herb mixture over the bread.  Wrap the foil all the way around the bread and put it on a baking sheet.  Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes..  Uncover the bread and continue to cook for 10-15 min or until cheese is melted.  Let cool slightly and enjoy!
