With the football season in full swing and the holidays coming up fast...this looks like a perfect fit.  We found this recipe on pinterest from Rhodes Bake-N-Serv Mobile.  Let us know how you like it and if you played around with different ingredients.

Party Loaf

Ingredients

Enough of your favorite sourdough to make one loaf of bread (we think any one of our sourdough cultures would be great with this)
Slices of your favorite cheese
Cooked bacon
Green onion, diced
Dipping sauce

Instructions

Roll loaf into a 20-22 inch rope.  Form into a circle and place in the bottom of a sprayed bundt pan.  Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until double in size.  Remove wrap and bake at 350° F 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned.  Cool and then make cuts lengthwise and widthwise, about 1-inch apart, without cutting through the bottom crust.  Place on a sprayed baking sheet or cooking stone.  Insert cheese slices and bacon pieces between the cuts.  Return to oven and bake an additional 5-10 minutes or until chees is melted.  Serve with your favorite dip in the middle.

Hope this turns into a favorite of yours.  I am thinking of several different ways that I could serve this.  Happy baking!
