Cheddar Pear Prosciutto Pull-Apart Bread

Rich, buttery bread is layered with delicious cheddar cheese, Prosciutto and thinly sliced pears in this Cheddar Pear Prosciutto Pull-Apart Bread that makes the perfect addition to your Mother’s Day brunch spread.

Welcome to the third annual #BrunchWeek hosted by Terri from Love and Confections and Shaina from Take A Bite Out Of Boca. It’s the second recipe of Brunch week here on It Bakes Me Happy and you are probably already familiar with how much I love breakfast! Thanks for joining us as we celebrate Brunch all this week and prepare for Mother’s Day. 30 Bloggers from around the country are showcasing their best brunch dishes – from cocktails to casseroles, breakfast breads, sandwiches and salads; there’s a little something for everyone.

When I sat down to plan my Brunch Week menu last month this recipe was not on my list, but then I got a fun delivery from the sweet folks of Woot Froot and I just had to think of a way to use the delicious pears they sent me. Luckily Cabot Cheese also sent a box of their amazingly delicious cheese, so I knew I wanted to combine them into a sweet and salty recipe – enter this Cheddar Pear Prosciutto Pull-Apart Bread.

I know what you’re thinking, man that recipe title is a mouth full. But trust me, once you get a mouthful of this irresistible pull apart bread you’ll thank me!

I want you to know you do NOT need to be afraid to bake with yeast, it is so easy! Really it is, I kind of love it, which is why I am sharing yet another yeasted dough today, but a savory one that is perfect to serve with a side of scrambled eggs. Look at all those layers of yummy goodness up their in the photo above, I typically don’t photograph raw food, but I loved the pops of green that were peaking through, so I couldn’t resist.

Fresh homemade bread + Woot Froot sliced pears + Cabot Seriously Sharp Cheddar + Prosciutto = awesomeness you and your mom are going to want this Sunday. If you want it to be extra cheesy, go ahead and throw a layer of cheese on top before baking; I hope you enjoy, happy baking!
