Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece round sourdough bread loaf
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 4 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons parsley, fresh
- 150 grams mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 100 grams cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Take the sourdough loaf and, using a serrated knife, make deep crosshatch cuts into the bread, creating a checkered pattern. Be careful not to cut all the way through the bottom of the loaf.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter on low heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the olive oil, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Remove from heat.
Using a pastry brush or spoon, evenly drizzle the garlic butter mixture into the cuts of the bread, ensuring it gets into all the corners and crevices.
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses. Stuff the cheese mixture generously into the cuts of the bread, making sure each section is filled.
Place the loaf on the prepared baking sheet and cover it loosely with aluminum foil to prevent the top from over-browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 5 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly, and the top is golden brown.
Carefully remove the bread from the oven and let it cool for a minute or two. Serve warm and enjoy pulling apart gooey, cheesy sections of the bread!
