Ingredients
- 1 large round loaf of sourdough or Italian bread
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
- Slice the bread in a criss-cross pattern, making cuts about 1 inch apart without cutting all the way through the bottom.
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Gently separate the bread sections and drizzle the garlic butter into all the cracks.
- Stuff the bread with shredded mozzarella and Parmesan, pressing cheese into the crevices.
- Wrap the bread loosely with foil and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then uncover and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the top is golden and crisp.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately while hot and gooey.
