Description

A soft, buttery pull-apart bread infused with garlic, herbs, and gooey cheese. Perfect for parties, side dishes, or just indulging in comfort food!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 large round loaf of sourdough or Italian bread
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for extra crispiness)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with foil.
  • Prepare the bread: Using a sharp knife, cut a grid pattern into the bread, slicing almost to the bottom but not all the way through.
  • Make garlic butter: In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  • Stuff the bread: Gently pull apart the bread sections and drizzle the garlic butter evenly into the cuts. Stuff shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese into the gaps.
  • Wrap and bake: Loosely wrap the bread in foil and bake for 15 minutes. Then, open the foil and bake uncovered for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Serve: Let it cool slightly before pulling apart and enjoying!

Notes

  • Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
  • Swap mozzarella for cheddar or Gruyère for different flavors.
  • Use garlic-infused oil instead of butter for a dairy-free version.
