Instructions
Creating Garlic Herb Sourdough Bread Stuffed is simple when you follow these clear steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Bread: Carefully slice the top of the sourdough bread and hollow out the inside, leaving a thick crust.
3. Mix Butter and Herbs: In a bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper until well mixed.
4. Fill Bread: Brush the garlic herb mixture liberally onto the inside of the hollowed bread. Ensure even coverage.
5. Add Cheese: Fill the interior with a generous portion of shredded cheese, distributing it evenly.
6. Replace Top: Place the sliced top of the bread back on the hollowed loaf.
7. Wrap in Foil: Wrap the whole stuffed bread in aluminum foil to retain moisture while baking.
8. Bake: Place the wrapped bread on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes.
9. Unwrap & Finish: Remove the bread from the oven, unwrap it carefully, and return it to bake uncovered for an additional 5 minutes to crisp the crust.
10. Cool Slightly: Allow the stuffed bread to cool for about 10-15 minutes before slicing.
