Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole Round sourdough bread loaf
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 large Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Place the sourdough bread loaf on a cutting board. Using a serrated knife, make diagonal cuts across the top of the bread, about 1 inch apart, without cutting all the way through the bottom of the loaf. Rotate the loaf and repeat, creating a diamond pattern.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add garlic (minced) and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in chopped parsley, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Using a pastry brush or spoon, drizzle the garlic butter mixture into the crevices of the bread, ensuring it reaches deep into the cuts.
In a medium bowl, mix the mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan cheeses together. Gently stuff the cheese mixture into the crevices of the bread, spreading it evenly.
If desired, sprinkle red pepper flakes over the top for extra heat.
Place the stuffed loaf on the prepared baking sheet and cover it loosely with aluminum foil. Bake for 15 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and the top is golden brown.
Carefully transfer the bread to a platter, let it cool for 2-3 minutes, and serve warm. Guests can pull apart pieces directly from the loaf!
