Bread and Filling

Method

Preparation and Baking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bread

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the French bread loaf into 1-inch pieces, being careful not to cut all the way through the bottom. The loaf should remain intact.

  2. 2

    Make the Butter Mixture

    In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in chopped parsley, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Stuff the Bread

    Using a brush or spoon, drizzle or spread the butter mixture into the cuts of the bread. Make sure to get some of the mixture into each slice. Then, sprinkle the Pecorino Romano cheese evenly over the top.

  4. 4

    Wrap and Bake

    Wrap the loaf in aluminum foil and place it on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Pull apart the pieces of bread and enjoy!
