When you want to serve bread with some soup or stew, you can serve a regular old loaf of bread, or you can cut notches in it and stuff it full of cheese, garlic, and butter. The answer seems pretty clear when you think about it that way, doesn’t it? Loaded bread is better than boring bread. And this takes just a few minutes to throw together! If you’re not serving it with soup, this bread makes a great snack or appetizer alongside some marinara sauce or just by itself. I find that most people like things covered with melted cheese.
When you cut this bread, it’s important to make sure you don’t cut all the way through the loaf. The pieces that are left after you have sliced it are perfect for grabbing, dipping, and popping in your mouth for a delicious snack. With this preparation, you don’t need to have a knife alongside the bread, you can just pull off what you want and eat like animals! Which is all we really want to do, anyways.
