Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 round loaf of bread
  • ½ cup melted butter 125 g
  • 3 garlic cloves minced or pressed
  • 2 cups grated cheese mozzarella, cheddar, or a mix (250 g)
  • 2 tablespoon fresh parsley 8 g, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Italian herbs optional: oregano, basil (1 g)
  • ½ teaspoon salt 3 g

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). With a serrated knife, make deep crisscross cuts in the bread, keeping the base intact.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together melted butter, minced garlic, salt, parsley, and Italian herbs (if using).
  3. Spread the butter mixture into all the cuts using a spoon or brush.
  4. Fill the cracks with grated cheese, distributing it evenly.
  5. Wrap the loaf in foil and bake for 10–15 minutes.
  6. Unwrap the foil and bake for another 5–7 minutes, until the cheese is melted and golden.
  7. Serve hot and pull apart with your hands, no slicing needed!
