Homemade Cheese and Garlic Pull Apart
- Replies 5
LOVE garlic bread but getting a little sick of the classic format. Oh boy do I have news for you. Introducing the Homemade Cheese and Garlic Pull Apart. You get soft cheesy bread from the centre and buttery crispy bites from the bottom. There’s something for everyone (except perhaps, the lactose intolerant). However, you could use plant-based butter and cheese!
Ingredients:
1 sourdough loaf (or any crusty bread of your choice)
1 cup Mozzarella cheese (or your choice of cheese), shredded
100g unsalted butter, softened
2 large garlic cloves, minced
3/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp parsley
Method:
Preheat the oven to 180C fan-forced.
Add butter and minced garlic to a heatproof bowl and melt in the microwave. Two minutes should be plenty. Stir through parsley and salt.
Slightly cut the bread on a diagonal into 2cm diamonds (do not cut all the way through the bread). This is how we can pull it apart and also allow all the buttery goodness to drip inside the loaf.
Pry open each crack and drizzle in the butter and add a pinch of cheese. You don’t need to be neat. Keep in mind you’ll want to save some butter for the next step.
Brush the top with any remaining butter.
Cover with alfoil and bake for 20 minutes or until the cheese has mostly melted, then unwrap from alfoil and bake for 5 - 10 minutes more to make the bread extra crusty.
Serve immediately.
What do you think, members? Are you still reading or did you already rush off to the shops to buy the ingredients? We are so excited to make this for our next dinner party. What would you serve this with or can you suggest any other flavours we should try?
