It’s football season and my Buffalo-bred fiancé is drooling over the fact that the Buffalo Bills may make it to the Superbowl! He’s also drooling over my new recipe for Cheesy Garlic Pull Apart Bread, so much so that he looks up from the game to grab pieces! For any football fans out there (or wives of football fans), you know this is a MAJOR accomplishment.
If you’re looking for the classic gooey-ooey buttery garlic bread, look no further! I’ve got you.

Makes: 1 loaf of cheesy garlic bread
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 25 minutes
Total time: 45 minutes
The Ingredients
1 crusty, firm French or sourdough loaf of bread
½ cup (1 stick) salted butter, melted
1 cup mozzarella cheese
¼ cup parmesan cheese
½ tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Optional: fresh snipped chives, to garnish
Optional: a side of marinara sauce
The Steps
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place loaf on a baking sheet.
Cut the loaf in a 1-inch grid pattern, without cutting through the bottom crust of the loaf. Start by cutting the bread in 1-inch wide strips in one direction, being careful not to cut through the bottom crust. Turn the bread 90 degrees and cut strips in the other direction, cutting the bread into diamond-shaped chunks.
Add garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning to melted butter. Stir well. Use a spoon & a basting brush to spoon and brush garlic butter over the top of the loaf and in the cracks of the grid.
Once all butter is used, blend mozzarella and parmesan together. Use your fingers to push cheese into the cracks of the grid so that every piece of pull apart bread is surrounded by cheese. It’s okay if some cheese is left on the top of the bread!
Tightly tent loaf with foil, and place bread on baking sheet in oven for 20 minutes. Remove foil, and let bake for another 5-10 minutes. Serve immediately as-is, or sprinkled with chives & a side of marinara! Wear your stretchy pants…
