Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Make diagonal cuts in the bread approximately one inch apart. Do the same going the opposite direction so the bread is cross hatched in one inch squares. Be careful not to go all the way through.
Combine melted butter, 2 T. Dorothy Lynch, chives and garlic salt. Using a turkey baster drizzle melted butter mixture over the loaf of bread -- squeezing it down into the cracks.
In another bowl with your mixer, beat together cream cheese, minced garlic, 3 Tablespoons Dorothy Lynch, shredded gouda and cheddar cheese. Fold in bacon bits.
Use a butter knife to stuff the cheese mixture down into the bread, making sure to get it in between all of the cracks.
Place the bread on a large piece of foil and wrap it loosely. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Carefully unwrap to expose the top and bake for about 15-20 minutes more, or until bread is golden brown and cheese is nice and melty.
