What’s the next best thing since the invention of sliced bread? Garlic bread!
It’s hard to believe that someone imagined that something so amazing could be even more amazing.
But someone did, and now we have garlic mozzarella bread… and it is incredibly delicious.
And this recipe is the very best recipe for garlic mozzarella bread.
It’s all the things garlic mozzarella bread should be.
It’s buttery, it’s garlicy, and it’s super cheesy.
The technique of scoring the top and stuffing it with cheese is what gives the loaf its unique look and irresistible taste.
You can also alter this recipe to your liking. Want extra garlic? Add it.
Do you like it more buttery? Use more butter. And you can always add more cheese, if you like your bread extra cheesy.
And technically your baking an entire loaf of bread.
Which is also pretty cool.
