Cheesy Pull Apart Bread

食材

1 round artisan or sourdough loaf (about 1 1/4 pounds)

4 Tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)

3 garlic cloves (minced)

1/4 cup flat leaf parsley leaves (finely chopped)

8 ounces grated Fontina cheese or similar stringy cheese

步驟

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Cut the bread in 1-inch parallel strips, being careful not to cut all the way through the loaf. Rotate the bread 90 degrees and cut in 1-inch strips perpendicularly to create a cross-hatch pattern.

In a small bowl, mix the butter, garlic and parsley. Spread the butter mixture evenly into the bread using a spoon or pastry brush. Stuff the rows evenly with cheese.

Wrap the loaf in parchment and then foil and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Serve immediately.
