Cheese and Garlic Crack Bread (Pull Apart Bread)
If you haven’t tried crack bread before, let me warn you now: garlic bread will never be the same again. It’s like a pull apart bread, but tastes like garlic bread plus you have the mozzarella cheese which stretches wonderfully as you pull bits off.

Ingredients:
| 1 | crusty loaf, preferably sourdough French bread |
| 3/4 cup | shredded mozzarella cheese (or other melting cheese) |
| 4 tablespoons | unsalted butter, softened |
| 2 | garlic cloves, minced |
| 1/2 teaspoon | salt salt |
| 1 tablespoon | fresh parsley, finely chopped |
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F.
Melt butter and then mix in garlic, salt & parsley.
Cut the bread on a diagonal into 2cm/1" diamonds but do not cut all the way through the bread (just like you would cut a french stick for garlic bread).
Use your fingers or a knife to pry open each crack and drizzle in a teaspoon of butter and stuff in a pinch of cheese. This might sound like a bit of an effort, but I promise you it is worth it! You don't need to be super neat, it's nice to have some of the butter drizzled over the crust.
Wrap with foil and bake for 15minutes until the cheese has mostly melted, then unwrap and bake for 5 minutes more to make the bread nice and crusty.
Serve immediately.
