INGREDIENTS :
-
▢1x 14oz/400g loaf of Bread (see notes)
-
▢2-2.5cups / 200-250g Mozzarella, shredded
-
▢6 tbsp Unsalted Butter
-
▢3 cloves of Garlic, grated/minced
-
▢1 tbsp Parsley, finely diced (plus extra to serve)
-
▢1/4 tsp Salt, or to taste
-
▢1/8 tsp Black Pepper, or to taste
INSTRUCTIONS:
-
Pre heat oven to 356F/180C
-
Melt butter in the microwave or in a pot over low heat. Combine in a small pot with 3 grated/minced cloves of garlic, 1 tbsp finely diced parsley and 1/4tsp salt & 1/8tsp black pepper (or to taste). Place to one side.
-
Slice your loaf in half, to make 2 equally sized ‘open’ loaves. Evenly coat each loaf with your garlic butter.
-
Place on a suitably sized tray, cover with foil (make a tent, crimp at the edges but don’t rest on top or will stick to garlic butter) and bake for 10-15mins, or until the edges start to brown. Unwrap foil, sprinkle over mozzarella and place back in the oven until golden and bubbly (another 10mins or so). If you slightly over cooked the first time around then grill/broil the second time around, just so it cooks the cheese and not the bread itself.
-
Sprinkle with a pinch more parsley, slice into wedges and serve up
