Ingredients
  

  • 1 loaf sourdough bread
  • 8 tbsp butter 1 stick
  • 2 tbsp dried parsley
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 1 cup asiago cheese shredded
  • 1 tsp oregano optional

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • To get the perfect pull-apart bread start by making crisscrossing cuts across the top of the loaf. Use a sharp knife to make cuts every inch apart across the loaf. Make sure not to slice through the bottom of the loaf. Leave the bottom inch of the loaf intact to hold the bread together. When you've cut the loaf all the way across the bread rotate the loaf a quarter turn and cut in one-inch increments. The top of the bread will be full of square cubes of bread.
  • Combine the melted butter, minced garlic, dried parsley, and oregano in a small bowl.
  • Shred the asiago and mozzarella cheese and combine in a bowl.

Filling the Sourdough Cheese and Garlic Pull Apart Bread

  • Place two long pieces of foil overlapping crisscross on a baking sheet. Place the cut loaf onto the prepared baking sheet and spoon all of the herb butter mixture into the crevices of the bread. The easiest way to separate the bread is to lift the loaf from the bottom with one hand, letting it fall open a bit.
  • Next, stuff ¾ of the shredded cheese into the bread crevices. The bread will fan out a bit from all of the cheese. Then sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top of the bread.
  • Wrap the foil up around the bread. Be sure to leave a bit of space between the top of the loaf and the foil so that the cheese doesn't stick to the foil as it bakes.

Baking the Cheese and Garlic Pull Apart Bread

  • Place the bread into the hot oven and bake for 30-40 minutes or until the cheese has completely melted. Unwrap the bread from the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes to crisp up the top of the bread.
