Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven
Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that the oven is ready when you’re done prepping the loaf. -
Prepare the Loaf Pan
Lightly spray or grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan. Make sure to coat the pan well so the biscuits don’t stick during baking. -
Separate the Biscuits
Open the package of refrigerated biscuits and carefully separate them into 20 individual biscuits. If you need to, slightly stretch each biscuit to make them a bit larger, but be gentle to avoid tearing the dough. -
Dip the Biscuits
Dip one side of each biscuit into the ranch dressing. Make sure the side is well-coated, as this is what gives the loaf its rich flavor. Next, dip the same side into the grated Parmesan cheese, pressing down gently so the cheese sticks to the dressing. -
Fold the Biscuits
After coating each biscuit, fold them in half so that the ranch and cheese-covered side is tucked inside. This creates pockets of flavor throughout the loaf as it bakes. -
Arrange in the Pan
Place the folded biscuits into the prepared loaf pan, with the fold facing downward. Arrange them into 4 crosswise rows, each consisting of 5 biscuits. If you have any remaining cheese, sprinkle it generously over the biscuits for extra cheesy goodness. -
Bake the Loaf
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 35 minutes, or until the loaf is a deep golden brown on top. This ensures that the bread is fully baked and has a beautiful crust. -
Cool and Serve
Once baked, remove the Parmesan Ranch Loaf from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving. The bread will be soft, cheesy, and packed with the tangy flavor of ranch dressing.
This Parmesan Ranch Loaf is a simple and crowd-pleasing recipe that is sure to impress your guests with its layers of deliciousness. Whether you serve it as part of a brunch spread or alongside a warm bowl of soup, this loaf is bound to disappear fast!
