Golden sourdough stuffed with melted cheese, garlic butter, and fresh herbs. Warm, shareable starter ready in 40 minutes.
# What You'll Need:
→ Bread
01 - 1 large round sourdough loaf (about 1.1 lbs)
→ Garlic Butter
02 - 7 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
03 - 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
04 - 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
05 - 1 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped (optional)
06 - ½ tsp salt
07 - ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
→ Cheese
08 - 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
09 - 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
10 - ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
02 - Using a serrated knife, carefully cut the bread diagonally into ¾-inch wide slices, making sure not to cut all the way through the base. Rotate the loaf and repeat to create a crosshatch pattern.
03 - In a bowl, mix together the softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, chives (if using), salt, and pepper until well combined.
04 - Gently pry apart the bread sections and spread or brush the garlic butter mixture into all the crevices.
05 - Stuff the mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan cheese evenly into the cuts, ensuring cheese is distributed throughout.
06 - Place the stuffed loaf on the prepared baking tray. Wrap loosely with foil and bake for 15 minutes.
07 - Uncover and bake for an additional 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the top is golden.
08 - Serve hot, pulling apart pieces to enjoy.
