Hasselback Garlic Cheesy Bread

Hi everyone,

Today I'm going to share a recipe for a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for any occasion. The bread is made with a simple dough that is flavored with garlic and cheese. It is then baked until golden brown and crispy.

I love this bread because it is so versatile. It can be served as an appetizer, a side dish, or even a main course. It is also great for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. And best of all, it can be made ahead of time and reheated when you're ready to serve.

The bread is made with a simple dough that is made with flour, water, yeast, honey, and salt. The dough is then kneaded until it is smooth and elastic. Once the dough has risen, it is divided into two parts and shaped into baguettes. The baguettes are then brushed with melted garlic butter and sprinkled with Parmesan cheese.

The bread is baked in a preheated oven until it is golden brown and crispy. Once the bread is baked, it is allowed to cool for a few minutes before it is sliced and served.

This bread is so delicious and flavorful, and it is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!

Step-by-step

• In a large bowl, stir together the water, honey, and yeast. Let the yeast proof for 5 minutes until it is foamy.
• Once the yeast is foamy, stir in the salt and the flour in 1/4 cup increments. If you are using a stand mixer, be sure to not increase your speed higher than a 2 or ‘stir.’
• Once the dough starts pulling away from the sides and the bowl seems to be pretty clean, set a timer for 5 minutes and walk away. Let the machine knead the dough.
• After 5 minutes, the dough should be smooth and tacky but when touched shouldn’t leave any dough on your fingers.
• Grease the bowl and the dough. Cover with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and let rise 1 hour or until doubled in size.
• Punch down the dough and cut it into two equal portions. Form into two long baguettes the length of the cookie sheet. I like to twist mine because it looks cool, but it also keeps its length and doesn’t shrink.
• Cover with plastic wrap and rise 30 minutes. Start to preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and place the dough close to the oven where it’s nice and warm.
• Once the oven is preheated, remove the plastic wrap from the dough, reduce the oven to 350F, put the bread into the oven, and bake for 20 minutes.
• In the meantime, slice the cheese into thin slices and melt the butter.
• Pull loaves of bread out of the oven after 20 minutes and brush with the melted garlic butter. Bake another 5-7 minutes or until the bread begins to turn a golden brown.
• Remove from the oven and cool for 15 minutes.
• Cut 1-inch slices 3/4's of the way through the loaves. Brush garlic butter in between each slice and fill with a slice of cheese.
• Bake another 3-5 minutes or until the cheese is completely melted.
• Serve immediately.
