Ingredients

  • 1 loaf crusty bread sourdough or Italian
  • 8 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup marinara sauce or pizza sauce for dipping

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Using a sharp, serrated knife, cut a diamond pattern into the top of the bread making sure that the knife doesn't go all the way through to the bottom of the loaf. Each slice should be about an inch wide. Place a piece of foil on top of a baking sheet and place the loaf onto the foil.

  • In a small saucepan, melt the butter and stir in the garlic powder. Remove from the heat and use a pastry brush to coat the cracks and exterior of the bread. Fill the cracks with shredded cheese and parsley and wrap the loaf in the foil.
