# What You Need:

2 cups shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese blend

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
→ Aromatics and Seasoning
04 -
4 cloves garlic, minced
05 -
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
06 -
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
07 -
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
08 -
1/4 teaspoon salt

# How to Make It:
01 -
Set oven temperature to 375°F and allow to fully preheat.
02 -
Using a sharp bread knife, create diagonal cuts across the loaf in a crosshatch pattern, ensuring not to cut entirely through the base.
03 -
In a medium bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper until evenly incorporated.
04 -
With a pastry brush, generously distribute the garlic butter mixture between all loaf cuts and surfaces, coating the bread thoroughly.
05 -
Carefully insert shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese into all bread crevices, maximizing even distribution for optimal melt and coverage.
06 -
Wrap the stuffed loaf in aluminum foil and position on a baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, then unwrap and continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes to achieve a golden crust and bubbling cheese.
07 -
Transfer bread to a serving platter and allow to cool briefly before pulling apart and serving warm.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
For a more pronounced garlic flavor, allow the butter mixture to infuse for several minutes before application.
