Cheesy Garlic Pull-Apart Bread

Look at that cheese! I should say, look at those cheeses! I used a combination of mozzarella and cheddar for this incredible snack/side dish/appetizer. I also buttered the bread with melted garlic butter - so the flavors truly soar in every bite. Grab your favorite loaf of artisan bread and get this baby in the oven STAT.

Cheesy Garlic Pull-Apart Bread

I loaf round bread, I chose a Baby Boule, sourdough works great too
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. 
Using a sharp serrated knife, make several horizontal slices in the bread, about 1 inch apart. Now make the same amount of vertical slices, creating a cross-hatch pattern. 
Melt the butter and garlic powder together until melted (in a small saucepan or the microwave). Brush the butter in between all the openings in the bread. Brush any extra butter all over the top of the bread. 
Fill the openings with both cheeses -- it's easiest to go in one direction, say all the horizontal slices, and then all the vertical slices (that way you won't miss any spots). 
Wrap the bread in foil and bake for 20 minutes. Unwrap and bake for 5 to 10 more minutes, until the top is golden brown.
