Health and well-being types, look away now. This garlic bread recipe is very naughty and no good for anyone, unless you’re someone who is wanting to set your taste-buds on fire and delight the people in your life.
This is as naughty as them come; lashings {like, seriously, lashings!} of butter, white crusty bread, and CHEESE. But it’s so moorish and delicious and indulgent. I say bring it out at your next party. Or make them into individual bread rolls and serve with soup. Just make it once in your life, and then go running for 23 days.
Ingredients
1 cob loaf of bread {a denser bread like sourdough will be easier to cut, a lighter bread like I used will be super soft and lush}
200g butter
4 cloves of garlic, crushed
8 bocconcini balls
Method
♥ Preheat your oven to 200℃. Cut your bread into diagonal stripes, without cutting all the way through {around 3cm apart}. Turn the bread around and cut the bread the other way {again not all the way through}, creating a criss cross pattern.
♥ Melt 200g of butter in a saucepan, and remove from heat. Stir in the crushed garlic. Resist the temptation to just pour the butter all over the bread. Sit the bread on top of a large sheet of aluminium foil. Spoon the butter and garlic mixture evenly into the cracks. Break the small cheese balls up, and squeeze them into random cracks in the bread. Wrap in foil and place in the oven.
♥ Cook for 15 minutes, and then open the foil up and cook a further 5 minutes to let the top get all crusty and crunchy.
Enjoy. Diet later.
Be still my beating heart (and hardening arteries!) This looks soooooo good. It’s a shame I’ve started my “diet” (again) today. But I’m totes bookmarking this! Cob loaf AND bocconcini balls – inspired!
Oh. My. YUM! Garlic bread is one of my most favourite things on EARTH. I can practically taste this right now! Too weird to have garlic bread for breakfast…? x
Never, bread is good ( toast ) and we all know garlic is good for us! Of course we also need our calcium intake 🙂
If I make it today, then I’ve got a few more days left of the week t enjoy because we all know that diets can only really start on a Monday!!!!!

You said squeeze cheese into cracks!
my word, this sounds sooooooo good. Totally worth the calories 😉
Holy moly! What I wouldn’t give for one of these to arrive at my desk right this second!!
This is the Taj Mahal of garlic breads, right here, Yum..
Shut the front door! I can smell it now. I’m currently on one of those crazy 8 week fitness challenges and am already planning my first treat meal. This just might be it. Shared of course. Maybe
Holy moly! I’m definitely trying this.
This is just like the crack bread recipe on Recipe Tin Eats. I made it for a pot luck dinner and it got devoured. Very good but very bad!!
