Cheesy Pull-Apart Garlic Bread

Ingredients:

  • 1 loaf of French bread (or sourdough or Italian bread)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for a little heat)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (or a mix of mozzarella and cheddar)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt to taste
METHOD:
  1. Turn the oven on to 375°F, or 190°C.
  2. Get the bread ready: Cut the bread into squares by slicing it both horizontally and vertically. Make sure you just cut just enough through the bottom of the loaf to keep it together but yet allow it to come apart easily.
  3. To make the garlic butter, combine the melted butter, red pepper flakes, parsley, basil (if using), and minced garlic in a small bowl. Mix to blend.
  4. Add seasoning to the bread. Evenly distribute the garlic butter mixture throughout the bread’s slices using a brush or spoon. Be careful to spread butter in all the nooks and crannies!
  5. Add cheese: After spreading the butter, cram the Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses into the bread’s slits. Make an effort to include cheese into as many of the cuts as you can.
  6. Wrap the bread. Lay a piece of aluminum foil loosely over the bread on a baking sheet.
  7. Bake: Bake the bread for 15 to 20 minutes, or until it is warm and the cheese has melted.
  8. Optional: Broil: Take off the foil and broil the bread for a further two to three minutes, keeping a close eye on it to prevent burning, for a crispy, golden top.
  9. Take it out of the oven and serve it warm. Take it all apart and savor it!
    Advice: You may put additional cheese between the slits or on top of the bread before broiling it if you want your bread extra cheesy.
  10. For a burst of freshness, you may substitute fresh herbs (such basil or parsley) for dried ones.
  11. Serve with salads, soups, pasta, or as a tasty appetizer by itself!
