This is INSANELY delicious. I especially love the way the bread is cut into diamond shapes so you can tear bite size pieces off. Every pieceis garlicky and buttery and oh-so-cheesy…….

This is one the kids go NUTS over, don’t say I didn’t warn you! And grown ups turn into little kids when they get stuck into this. I made this for adinner and let me tell you, ittook 5 hands about 30 seconds to demolish this!

Best bread – The best bread to use for Cheese and Garlic Crack Breadis crusty sourdough or another dense type of bread, but it works well with plain crusty loaves as well.

Garlic Cheese Bread {with Olive Oil}

The reason it works better with sourdoughis because the bread is denser so the bread tends to hold together better when you pull bits off. But believe me, there is no compromise on flavour if you use other types of bread! In fact, in the photo I chose to use a crusty Vienna loaf because it was on special.

Best cheese –I really recommend using mozzarella cheese for this, you want it to stretch and pull when you tear the pieces off.

Other flavourings –I kept the flavours quite simple, going for a garlic bread with cheese, but you can go really wild with the flavours for this! Ranch dressing, kick of chilli, other herbs – the possibilities are endless!

When it comes out of the oven, it’s all golden, crusty and buttery on the inside and you know that’s just the start of the eating experience that’s about to commence….

Everybody goes so nuts over the cheese bits that you pull out, but my favourite part is thebase of the bread. All the butter and cheese drips to the bottom and it bakes so nice and crispy…..

This is a great centrepiece for a dinner that could just be accompanied bya fresh salad to make a complete meal. Or as a fabulous appetiser or party food – think game day!

Homemade Cheese Bread

It’s by far the most requested party food by my family and friends. I usually make it at home then take it to the venue and bake it there. Thebest way to make ahead is to use softened butter instead of melted butter and slather it into the cracks, then stuff with cheese. Wrap and bake before serving.

But you can evenbake it in advance then reheat quickly in the microwave as long as you use a crusty sourdough. The crust gets so crusty when you bake it, it stays crusty even if you reheat it in the microwave.

Go forth and enjoy! Make this cheesy garlic bread once, and you’ll be asked to make it again and again and again….

1. Make Ahead -The best way to make ahead is to usesoftened butter instead of melted butter, mix with garlic, salt and parsley then smear into the cracks. Stuff with cheese, wrap and refrigerate or freeze. To cook, thaw then follow recipe instructions to bake.

To make ahead so that it just requires a brief 2 minute reheat in the microwave to serve, you must use a crusty sourdough loaf. Bake per recipe (including unwrapped stage), then wrap it up in foil and let it cool. Refrigerate up to 3 days, then to serve, just microwave for 1 1/2 - 2 minutes on high just to melt the cheese again. Because the crust gets so crusty in the oven, it stays crusty even when reheated in the microwave.

3. Speedy Tip **Update** A reader reminded me of a fabulous SPEEDY tip that I should share with you! Instead of melting the butter, cream it. Then cut diagonal slices (in one direction only) and use all the butter and generously spread it in each crack, on both walls. Then cut the bread to make diamonds and as you drag the knife through the bread, it will spread the butter into the new crevices you are cutting. This doesn't provide quite the same even coverage of butter but for a speedy version, it is a small compromise. Thank you to CJ for the tip!

Cheesy Bread Recipe (extra Easy)

I originally intended to make a different bread than the Cheese Loaf Bread that you are looking at now. I was planning on making a

Which I saw on an Asian supermarket. It looked like a regular a sandwich loaf, maybe with bits of cheese in the dough, but definitely no cheese on top.

Why make a sandwich loaf with bits of non-visible cheese when I can actually make a braided loaf that is filled with loads of cheese?

Cheese Bread Recipe (easy Quick Bread)

Parmesan and cheddar cheese plus some scallions mixed in proved to be a winner-combo in a braided loaf. Once baked, the cheeses crisp up beautifully on top. The garlic powder gives the bread a tasty savory edge.

And the bread of course! The dough recipe is from Sally’s Baking Addiction and it is fantastic. It requires one rise only (great for yeast beginners) and yields a soft bread that is versatile for anything that you want to make.

It turns into this delicious cheese loaf. The flavor, the texture and the looks of it make my heart swell with joy.

Homemade Ham And Cheese Stuffed Bread

In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave butter, milk and water until the butter melts. The temperature of the mixture should be between 110-115 F. Reheat in the microwave to achieve that temperature if needed.

Add the butter mixture to the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Stir it using a wooden spoon until incorporated. Add the egg and stir.

Add some of the reserved flour gradually while stirring until the mixture turns into a soft dough that gathers in the center of the bowl. After that, stop adding the flour. You may not need all of it.

Sourdough Cheese Bread

Turn the dough onto a floured board and knead it until it is smooth and elastic. If you would like to test, pull out a piece of dough and stretch it out using your fingers. You should be able to form a translucent film in the center. Let the dough rest for ten minutes in a bowl, covered.

Roll the dough using a rolling pin into a 14×10 inch rectangle. Sprinkle garlic powder all over the dough. Sprinkle the cheeses and the scallions.

Starting on the long edge, roll the dough into a tight log. Using a sharp knife, slice the log in half vertically, starting about an inch below the upper edge, leaving the top edge uncut.  Gently rotate the divided logs so that the cut side is facing up.

Garlic, Herb, And Cheese Bread Rolls

Begin braiding the dough by placing one side over the other, repeating the braiding pattern until you reach the end of the log. Gently lift the braided dough and place it inside a greased 9×5 inch loaf pan.

To let the dough rise, loosely cover it with a clean kitchen towel and allow it to rise for 1 ½ to 2 hours or until it doubles in bulk.

Bake time! Position a rack one level below the middle position in the oven. Preheat oven to 350 F. Once the oven reaches 350 F, place the loaf pan on the prepared rack.

Gluten Free Artisan Cheese Bread

Bake the loaf for 43-46 minutes or until the top is deeply golden. Loosely cover the loaf with foil at the 25-minute mark.  Serve this warm and enjoy every cheesy slice!
