Equipment

Ingredients
  

Bread and Seasonings

  • 1 round loaf bread see post for suggestions
  • 10 tablespoons salted butter
  • 8-20+ cloves garlic minced or grated
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley chopped
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt

Cooking Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F/177°C. Cut the bread into a checkerboard pattern, about 7 slices across and down, ¾ of the way through without cutting through.
  • Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat and add garlic, parsley, salt, pepper, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and optional red pepper flakes. Simmer for a couple of minutes, stirring to prevent burning. Spoon the mixture into the bread crevices.
  • Stuff cheese into the crevices, reserving some parmesan to sprinkle on top.
  • Brush the outside of the bread with olive oil and sprinkle with parmesan.
  • Place the bread in a Dutch oven lined with parchment paper, cover, and bake for 30 minutes with the lid on and 15 minutes off, until cheese is melted.
  • Serve with forks to pull out pieces, and cut the remaining base into breadsticks. Serve extra olive oil seasoned with salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and Italian seasoning on the side.
