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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Place the loaf on the prepared baking sheet and cover it loosely with aluminum foil to prevent the top from over-browning.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
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!
