Description
Golden sourdough loaves filled with roasted garlic butter, Parmesan, fresh parsley, and melted mozzarella create a warm, cheesy pull-apart bread perfect for sharing. Each slice is packed with savory flavor and a crisp, golden finish.
Ingredients
3 sticks salted butter, softened
20 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 loaves sourdough bread
8 ounces mozzarella cheese, freshly grated
Oil, enough to cover garlic for confit
Instructions
- Add the garlic cloves to a small pan and cover completely with oil.
- Cook over low heat until the garlic is golden brown and soft. Remove from the oil and let cool.
- Place the roasted garlic, softened butter, parsley, Parmesan cheese, and black pepper into a food processor and blend until smooth.
- Transfer the garlic butter mixture to a zip-top bag for easy piping.
- Slice each sourdough loaf every 1/2 inch, leaving about 1/2 inch connected at the bottom.
- Place about 1 teaspoon of mozzarella cheese between each slice.
- Pipe the roasted garlic butter into every cut of the bread.
- Brush extra garlic butter over the tops and sprinkle the remaining mozzarella over the loaves.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25 to 30 minutes, or cook on a grill over indirect heat until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown.
- Serve immediately while hot and cheesy.
Notes
Add cheddar or provolone along with the mozzarella for extra cheesy flavor.
Mix chopped basil or chives into the garlic butter for a fresh herb variation.
Sprinkle red pepper flakes between the slices for a mild kick of heat.
Use whole wheat sourdough for a heartier texture.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
Reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 10 to 15 minutes until warmed through.
