BBQ Pull Apart Bread

So I have a new found love for pull apart breads.I have always loved fresh bread. When I was younger we used to go to the local bakery and get fresh bread whenever we needed it. There was nothing better than getting there early in the morning and getting a loaf that has only recently come out of the oven, the smell, the taste and the warm touch. We had a bread maker for a while but like a lot of appliances in our house it got used a few times and then hidden in the cupboard and forgotten about. I always found bread a chore to make, there was so much kneading. However thanks to my thermomix its taken the hard part out of making bread. 

I decided to make a BBQ pull apart for lunch one day when my bestie came over for a movie marathon and lunch and both of us had spent (WAY) too much on Christmas. My inspiration was actually Bakers Delight BBQ Bonanza (my godness that is amazing stuff!). The one i made was yummy and both my mum and bestie enjoyed it, however it was not as BBQ saucey as I was planing on it being which was a bit of a disappointment. 

I used the same bread dough recipe that I used in the Herb, Garlic and Cheese Pull Apart I made a while ago

What I did next was different instead of making balls of dough i decided to make a braid (Note to self: next time you don't need that much dough for one piece of the braid). My advice would be break it up into smaller strips and then coat with the filling. 

I rolled out the dough and then made a tube around the filling, this was effective but harder to manoeuvre that I had first anticipated as it turned out to be much much bigger. I did make it work not as pretty as I had imagined but looks aren't everything the taste is what matters the most. I then put it in the oven (180 degree Celsius) for 1 hour until the top was golden brown and the cheese had melted and started to crisp up. 

Filling Recipe:

Ingredients 

• 3 cups grated cheese 
• 2 cups BBQ sauce 
• 1 cup chopped onion 
• extra cheese to sprinkle on top

Method

1. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl.
2. Transfer the mixture onto the dough (in or on depending on what you prefer).
