Cheese and Garlic Pull Apart Bread
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 crusty loaf , preferably sourdough or Vienna
- 1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese (or other melting cheese)
- 1 stick (8 tbsp) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large garlic cloves, minced
- ¾ tsp salt
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
DIRECTIONS:
-
Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
-
Combine butter, garlic and salt in a heatproof bowl and melt in the microwave. Stir through parsley.
-
Cut the bread on a diagonal into one inch diamonds but do not cut all the way through the bread.
-
Use your fingers or a knife to pry open each crack and drizzle in a teaspoon of butter and stuff in a pinch of cheese. This might sound like a bit of an effort, but I promise you it is worth it! You don’t need to be super neat, it’s nice to have some of the butter drizzled over the crust.
-
Brush surface with remaining butter.
-
Wrap with foil and bake for 20 minutes until the cheese has mostly melted, then unwrap and bake for 5 – 10 minutes more to make the bread nice and crusty.
-
Serve immediately.
