• servings: 8 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 50 minutes

Ingredients

1 loaf crusty bread (sourdough or Italian)

8 tablespoons butter

1 tablespoon garlic powder

2 tablespoons chopped parsley

1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup marinara sauce (or pizza sauce for dipping)

Directions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Use a sharp, serrated knife to cut the loaf of bread diagonally into 1-inch slices, making sure not to cut all the way through to the bottom. Then, turn the loaf a quarter turn and slice again to create a diamond grid pattern. Place the loaf on a piece of foil on a baking sheet.

Melt the butter in a small saucepan and stir in the garlic powder. Use a pastry brush to coat the inside of the bread slices with the melted garlic butter, stuffing the cracks with shredded cheese and chopped parsley. Wrap the loaf in foil and place it on a baking sheet.

Bake the loaf for 30 minutes, unwrap the top of the loaf and bake an additional 10 minutes. Serve immediately.
