Ingredients
- 1 bread loaf approx 12" long
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3 garlic cloves (, minced (~ 3 tsp))
- 2 - 2.5 cups (7-8¾ oz) mozzarella cheese, grated
- Parsley (, for sprinkling (optional))
Method
- Heat the oven to 325°F while you prepare the loaf.
- Stir the unsalted butter together with the salt and minced garlic until the garlic butter is evenly mixed.
- Cut the bread loaf in half horizontally so you have two long open faces.
- Drizzle the garlic butter all over both cut faces, making sure no dry patches are left.
- Bake the buttered loaf for 20 minutes until the edges turn crisp.
- Turn the oven up to 400°F, blanket the loaf with the grated mozzarella and bake for 7 to 10 minutes more until the mozzarella melts and bubbles.
- Scatter parsley over the cheesy garlic bread if you are using it, cut the loaf into pieces and serve immediately.
