Pinch salt
-
Optional: red pepper flakes
👩🍳 Instructions

Mix butter + garlic + salt + parsley.
-
Stuff the bread: Spoon garlic butter into every crack. Fill generously with Parmesan and mozzarella.

Wrap loosely in foil and bake 15–20 minutes.

Uncover & bake 5–10 more minutes until top is golden and crispy.
Serve hot and watch it disappear in minutes.
🔥 Pro Tips (What Makes It “The Best”)

Use freshly grated Parmesan (melts better than pre-shredded).
-
Add a thin layer of cream cheese inside for extra richness.
-
Brush a little extra garlic butter on top before the final bake.
-
Finish with a sprinkle of flaky salt for restaurant-style flavor.
