Categories: Pizza/Flatbread

Ingredients

• 3 cups shredded mozzarella
• 1 1/2 sticks butter, at room temp
• 1/2 cup mayo
• 1 1/2 cups finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
• 2 tbsp finely minced garlic
• 1 tsp red pepper flakes
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 lb. round loaf French bread

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400.

2. In a bowl, combine the mozzarella, butter, mayo, Parm, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt and black pepper. Using a serrated knife, cut the bread in a crosshatch pattern, making cuts 2 inches apart and taking care not to cut through the bottom of the bread.

3. Place the bread on a large sheet of foil on a baking sheet. Stuff most of the cheese mixture into all of the cracks in the bread. Slather the remainder over the top of the bread. Coat another sheet of foil with cooking spray and lay spray-side down on the top of the loaf. Crimp the two pieces together to seal the bread in foil.

4. ke for 20 minutes, then reduce the oven temp to 375. Remove the top sheet of foil and bake until the top gets golden and the cheese is super melty, 15 to 20 minutes longer.
