Most children love garlic bread! You can reduce the quantity of fresh garlic if you think they’d prefer that.
Cook’s tips:
- It’s best to use a loaf that’s a day or two old for this recipe, to make it easier to slice.
- Ring the changes by adding chopped fresh parsley or dried mixed herbs to the butter mixture.
Method
-
1. Heat the oven to 190 °C.
-
2. Using a sharp serrated knife, carefully cut the bread diagonally into 3cm slices, taking care not to cut all the way through to the bottom of the loaf.
-
3. Turn the bread around and cut in the other direction to form a diamond pattern.
-
4. In a bowl, mix together the soft butter, garlic, chives, and the contents of the sachet of Royco Sour Cream & Chives Potato Bake. Gently squeeze the edges of the loaf to open up the gaps and spread the butter mixture all over the inside of the bread, using a knife or your fingers.
-
5. Carefully stuff some of the grated mozzarella into the gaps and sprinkle the rest on top.
-
6. Place on a baking sheet and bake at 190 °C for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the top is golden and the cheese is bubbling. Serve hot.
