Garlic Pull-Apart Bread is the ultimate cheesy, garlicky indulgence, perfect for sharing with friends and family. This warm, golden loaf is infused with rich, buttery garlic flavors and stuffed with gooey mozzarella and Parmesan, ensuring every bite is irresistibly delicious. The crisscross cuts allow the cheese to melt beautifully into every nook and cranny, while fresh parsley adds a touch of brightness. Whether served as an appetizer, a party snack, or alongside a meal, this pull-apart bread is a showstopping crowd-pleaser that delivers on both flavor and presentation!

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 190°C and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the bread:
   • Slice the bread into a crisscross pattern (blocks) but do not cut all the way through—you want it to stay intact for easy pulling apart.
3. Make the garlic butter:
   • In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, chopped garlic, Italian herbs, and salt.
4. Fill the bread:
   • Use a spoon to carefully drizzle the garlic butter mixture into all the cuts.
   • Stuff the mozzarella and Parmesan between the slices, ensuring it’s evenly spread throughout.
5. Bake:
   • Wrap the loaf in foil and place it on the prepared baking tray.
   • Bake for 15 minutes.
   • Remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
6. Garnish & Serve:
   • Take the bread out of the oven, sprinkle fresh parsley over the top, and serve warm.
   • Perfect for sharing!
