Stuffed Bread Ingredients
Method
Preparation Steps
Add Tomato Paste and Seasoning
Stir in the tomato paste, basil, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until everything is well combined and heated through. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Prepare the Bread
Carefully slice the top off the bread loaf and hollow out the inside, leaving a shell about 1 inch thick. Be sure to save the removed bread for future use (like breadcrumbs or croutons).
Stuff the Bread
Fill the hollowed-out bread with the eggplant mixture, pressing it down gently to pack it in. Top with mozzarella cheese.
Bake the Stuffed Bread
Place the stuffed bread on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve
Remove from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, slice, and serve warm.
