Amazing Pull Apart Garlic Cheese Bread – Perfect For Sharing
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 Crusty Loaf (sourdough or Italian boule)
- 2 cups Low-Moisture Mozzarella (shredded)
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese (freshly grated)
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter
- 6–8 cloves Fresh Garlic (finely minced)
- 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley (chopped)
- Salt (to taste)
- Black Pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a sturdy baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
- Cut the bread into a crosshatch pattern, making slices about 1-inch apart in both directions, ensuring the loaf remains intact at the base.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter. Add the minced garlic, chopped parsley, a pinch of salt, and black pepper to the melted butter and stir until well combined.
- Gently pry open the cuts in the bread and stuff the cheese generously into every crevice and cut.
- Spoon or brush the garlic butter mixture all over the top of the bread, ensuring it seeps into the cuts.
- Wrap the entire loaf tightly in foil and bake for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for another 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and golden.
- Let it rest for a minute or two before serving, then transfer to a serving table or platter and garnish with extra parsley.
