So let’s begin!

Best bread – The best bread to use for Cheese and Garlic Bread is crusty sourdough or another dense type of bread. I have made super easy No-Knead Artisan Bread that will be perfect for that recipe too. You can check that tutorial HERE

Best cheese – I really recommend using mozzarella cheese for this, you want it to stretch and pull when you tear the pieces off.

So let’s begin to make our Garlic bread .. Garlic and Cheese pull apart bread

Ingredients that you will need

1 crusty loaf of bread
1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
BUTTER 1 stick (8 tbsp) unsalted butter , softened
2 large garlic cloves , minced

Cut the bread in a strips in one direction, being careful not to cut all the way through the loaf. Rotate the bread 90 degrees and cut in the other direction.

This is a great centerpiece for a dinner that could just be accompanied by a fresh salad to make a complete meal. Or as a fabulous appetizer or party food – think game day!

It’s by far the most requested party food by my family and friends so it is going to be served as my Thanksgiving side this this year. You could make it ahead and use softened butter instead of melted butter and insert it into the cracks, then stuff with cheese. Wrap and bake before serving.

But you can even bake it in advance then reheat quickly in the microwave as long as you use a crusty sourdough. The crust gets so crusty when you bake it, it stays crusty even if you reheat it in the microwave.
