Garlic Stuffed Italian Bread

Preheat your oven to a high temperature of three hundred fifty degrees Fahrenheit, or one seventy-five degrees Celsius.

In a mixing bowl, blend together softened butter, chopped parsley, olive oil, and minced garlic to create a savory paste.

Cut the bread loaf into thick slices, cutting on a diagonal every two inches, beginning at the top and working your way down without completely separating the slices. Then, cut across the slices on the opposite diagonal to form cube-shaped bread pieces still connected to the bottom crust.

Apply the butter mixture carefully between each bread section, followed by a layer of melted cheese. Wrap the entire loaf in aluminum foil to retain moisture.

Bake the wrapped bread in a preheated oven for fifteen minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until the cheese is fully melted, adding an additional ten minutes to the cooking time.

Note: Be cautious when unwrapping the bread to avoid burning your hands.
