Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large French baguette or Italian bread loaf
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) buffalo wing sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot)
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) creamy ranch dressing
  • 1 cup (100 g) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup (50 g) shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup (25 g) crumbled blue cheese (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons (42 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 stalks green onions, sliced thin
  • Optional: chopped cooked chicken
  • Optional: celery sticks for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place pizza stone in oven if using.
  2. Slice the baguette in half lengthwise into two long halves or smaller pieces (8-10 inches).
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, melted butter, and minced garlic; stir until blended.
  4. Brush the sauce mixture generously over the cut sides of the bread.
  5. Sprinkle the cheese blend evenly over both halves.
  6. Place bread halves cut side up on a parchment-lined baking sheet or preheated pizza stone.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes until cheese is melted, bubbly, and edges are crispy.
  8. Remove from oven and sprinkle with sliced green onions.
  9. Let cool for a few minutes before slicing into squares or strips.
  10. Serve warm with celery sticks and extra ranch or buffalo sauce for dipping.

Notes

Use day-old or slightly stale bread to prevent sogginess. Do not overload sauce to keep bread crispy. Preheat baking surface for best crust. Watch baking time closely to avoid burning. For a meatier version, add cooked chicken or bacon before baking. Vegan and gluten-free substitutions are possible.
