Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a loaf pan with olive oil.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the bread dough to a rectangle approximately 12x8 inches.
Melt the unsalted butter in a saucepan over low heat; add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Remove from heat.
Brush the garlic butter mixture over the rolled-out dough.
Sprinkle the dough evenly with chopped parsley, basil, black pepper, shredded mozzarella cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese.
Cut the dough into 16 equal squares with a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
Carefully stack the squares in four piles of four squares each.
Place each stack into the prepared loaf pan, cut side up.
Cover with a kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 15 minutes.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown on top and cooked through.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
Serve warm, pulling apart the layers to enjoy the cheesy and garlicky goodness.
