Ingredients
Method
Preheat the oven to 180 Celsius, then make the garlic butter by mixing the softened butter with minced garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Prepare the loaf: Using a serrated knife, cut deep diagonal slices into the bread about 2–3 cm apart, making sure not to cut all the way through. Repeat on the opposite diagonal to create a crisscross pattern.
Fill the cuts: Spread garlic butter generously into all the slits. Push grated cheese down into the cuts, packing it in so every piece is cheesy.
Wrap and bake: Place the loaf on the prepared tray, wrap it completely in foil, and bake for 15 minutes
Uncover and finish: Open the foil to expose the top of the bread. Bake uncovered for a further 5–7 minutes, until the cheese is melted and golden. Serve hot and pull apart at the table.
