Instructions
Creating Cheesy Garlic Pull-Apart Bread is simple and enjoyable. Just follow these steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Bread: Take the unsliced loaf and make diagonal slices across and down the loaf, about 1 inch apart. Do not cut all the way through; leave the bottom intact.
3. Mix Butter and Garlic: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with minced garlic, parsley, and Italian seasoning.
4. Add Cheese: Carefully spread a generous amount of the garlic butter mixture between the slices of the bread. Follow this by stuffing shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese into each cut.
5. Wrap and Bake: Wrap the loaf in aluminum foil and place it on a baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes.
6. Unwrap and Broil: Remove the foil and broil on high for an additional 5-10 minutes, until the cheese is bubbling and golden. Watch closely to prevent burning.
7. Cool Slightly: Remove it from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving for easier handling.
8. Serve: Pull apart to enjoy the cheesy goodness and serve warm.
These straightforward steps will guide you in creating this incredible pull-apart bread with minimal fuss.
