This warm, cheesy, and aromatic bread is the ultimate crowd-pleaser, perfect for sharing as an appetizer or side dish.
Ingredients:
-
1 round boule-style loaf of bread
-
100g butter, melted
-
3-4 cloves garlic, minced
-
150g mozzarella cheese, grated
-
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
-
1 pinch of salt
Instructions:
-
Prep: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
-
Score the Bread: Using a sharp knife, cut a deep grid pattern into the loaf, taking care not to slice all the way through the bottom crust.
-
Make Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt. Generously brush this mixture into all the slits of the scored bread.
-
Add Cheese: Gently insert the grated mozzarella into the slits, ensuring it’s well distributed.
-
Bake: Place the loaf on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly and the bread is golden and crisp.
-
Garnish & Serve: Remove from the oven, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve immediately while warm and gooey.
Enjoy this delicious, shareable centerpiece at your next casual gathering!
