# What You Need:
→ Bread
01 - 1 large round sourdough loaf (approximately 1.1 lb)
→ Garlic Butter
02 - 7 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
03 - 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
04 - 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped

→ Cheese
08 - 1 ¾ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
09 - ¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese
10 - ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
# How To Make It:
01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
02 - Using a serrated knife, slice the bread diagonally into ¾-inch wide sections without cutting through the base. Rotate and repeat to form a crosshatch pattern.
03 - Combine softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, chives if using, salt, and pepper in a bowl until fully incorporated.
04 - Gently separate the bread sections and spread the garlic butter mixture into all the crevices.
05 - Evenly distribute mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan cheese into the cuts, ensuring thorough coverage.
06 - Place the stuffed loaf on the prepared tray, loosely cover with foil, and bake for 15 minutes.
07 - Remove foil and continue baking for 8 to 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden.
08 - Serve immediately, encouraging pulling apart pieces while warm.
