STUFFED ITALIAN BREAD

Welcome to a savory delight straight from the heart of Italy: Stuffed Italian Bread! This mouthwatering creation combines the comforting flavors of warm, crusty bread with a savory filling of meats, cheeses, and herbs, creating a dish that’s as satisfying as it is delicious.

Imagine sinking your teeth into a golden loaf of bread, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, filled with a rich and flavorful mixture of Italian meats like salami and pepperoni, gooey melted cheese, and fragrant herbs like garlic and oregano. Each bite is a journey through the rustic flavors of the Italian countryside, with the perfect balance of savory and cheesy goodness.

• 1 stick butter, melted

• 3 tsp minced onion
• 2-3 cloves garlic, grated
• 1 tbsp dijon mustard

PROCEDURE:

Preheat the oven to 350 F.

Mix the melted butter, olive oil, onion, garlic, dijon mustard, poppy seeds and parsley in a bowl.
Cut the bread into cubes with X slices without cutting all the way through the bottom crust.
Pour the butter-onion garlic mixture carefully into those X cracks using a small spoon and over the top of the bread. Fill those delicious cracks with the grated cheese.
(It seems like a lot of work and trouble but it’s all worth it. Yes.)
Wrap the entire loaf with foil, sealing the sides properly and bake for 15-20 minutes. Remove from the oven and unwrap. Bake for another 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and gooey.
