CHEESE AND GARLIC CRACK BREAD

Yield 8-10 People

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 crusty loaf, preferably sourdough or Vienna
¾ cup shredded Mozzarella cheese (or other melting cheese)
Garlic Butter
100g/3.5oz unsalted butter, softened
2 garlic cloves, minced
⅜ tsp salt
1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Melt butter and then mix in other Garlic Butter ingredients. Cut the bread on a diagonal into 2cm/1" diamonds but do not cut all the way through the bread (just like you would cut a french stick for garlic bread). Use your fingers or a knife to pry open each crack and drizzle in a teaspoon of butter and stuff in a pinch of cheese. This might sound like a bit of an effort, but I promise you it is worth it! You don't need to be super neat, it's nice to have some of the butter drizzled over the crust. Wrap with foil and bake for 15minutes until the cheese has mostly melted, then unwrap and bake for 5 minutes more to make the bread nice and crusty. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Don't overmix the dough, or it will become tough.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place for at least an hour, or until it has doubled in size.
  • Bake the bread in a preheated oven for the best results.
  • Serve the bread warm, with your favorite toppings.

Conclusion:

Garlic and cheese crack bread is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. With its crispy crust, soft and fluffy interior, and cheesy garlicky flavor, it's sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty snack, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
