Fresh garlic brings the heat, while I Love Black Garlic Purée adds a deep, caramelized sweetness that melts into every bite. Soft, buttery, and cheesy, it’s the kind of bread that disappears fast.

Yield 1 loaf • Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 large round loaf (like sourdough or boule)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp I Love Black Garlic Purée (or 4 peeled black garlic cloves, mashed)
  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella or Italian blend cheese
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep the bread Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Using a sharp knife, cut diagonal slits into the bread, creating a crosshatch pattern. Don’t cut all the way through the bottom crust.
  2. Make the garlic butter In a bowl, mix melted butter, fresh garlic, black garlic, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
  3. Stuff and drizzle Spoon or brush the garlic butter into all the bread crevices. Tuck shredded cheese into each slit as evenly as possible.
  4. Bake Wrap the bread loosely in foil and bake for 15 minutes. Uncover and bake 10 more minutes until cheese is melted and edges are golden.
  5. Garnish and serve Sprinkle parsley on top. Serve warm and pull apart to enjoy the gooey, buttery perfection.

Tips and Variations

  • Cheese swap: Try provolone, gouda, or even parmesan for a sharper bite.
  • Add spice: Mix in red pepper flakes or drizzle with black garlic oil before baking.
  • Make ahead: Assemble up to 6 hours ahead and refrigerate. Bake just before serving.
  • Serving idea: Pair with pasta, soup, or enjoy as a party appetizer.
