Pull-Apart Loaf with Maple Bacon

September 1, 2023

Few things are more satisfying than pulling apart a warm, gooey loaf of bread filled with crispy bacon and dripping with maple glaze. This Pull-Apart Loaf with Maple Bacon is exactly that – a crowd-pleasing treat that hits all the right notes: salty, sweet, smoky, and buttery.

Perfect for brunch, game day gatherings, or holiday mornings, this loaf looks impressive but comes together easily. Imagine layers of soft dough brushed with butter, sprinkled with chopped crispy bacon, and kissed with maple syrup. As it bakes, the layers puff and caramelize, creating a golden-brown crust on the outside while remaining fluffy and flavorful inside.

The key to making this loaf irresistible is the combination of quality ingredients. Use thick-cut bacon for maximum flavor and texture, and real maple syrup – the kind that adds deep, earthy sweetness rather than just sugar. You can use store-bought biscuit dough or pizza dough for ease, or make your own if you’re feeling ambitious.

Once baked, the loaf is brushed with a bit more warm maple syrup and a final scattering of bacon pieces. Every slice pulls away with a sticky-sweet coating, a buttery base, and little pockets of smoky bacon goodness. It’s the kind of dish that disappears fast, so don’t be surprised if your guests ask for seconds – or the recipe.

To customize your loaf, consider adding a sprinkle of shredded cheddar or chopped pecans between the layers for an extra flavor boost. It’s incredibly versatile, and it works just as well as a savory side as it does a sweet breakfast centerpiece.

Best served warm, straight from the oven, this pull-apart loaf is comfort food at its finest. Whether you’re hosting friends or just treating yourself, this maple bacon bread is guaranteed to make the moment more delicious.

    Why would you add maple syrup with bacon? Seems weird. 🤔

    Wow really good, but why is it called pull-apart? I didn’t pull it apart. 🤷

      It’s called pull-apart because you’re supposed to pull the pieces apart after baking! Maybe you didn’t bake it long enough? 🤔

    Bacon is the best but I think maple syrup is too sweet for bread?

    Nah, didn’t like it. Too sweet for my taste. I prefer my bread plain, thank you very much.

    Okay, but what if we put chocolate instead of syrup? Just a thought. 🤷‍♂️
