Why You Will Like This Recipe
Last night I made this fabulous garlic cheese bread. What made the garlic bread good was purchasing FRESH mozzarella cheese. Seriously people, you can’t go wrong with fresh mozzarella.
Sure it’s a little bit more expensive, but I think it is well worth the price. Sometimes the grocery stores have coupons for them too. Belgioso is my favorite.
I used Ciabatta bread and spread some butter, garlic, and parmesan cheese on top of that and then baked that off in the oven for 10 minutes at a high temp. 450 degrees to be exact. It isn’t very WW friendly just to warn you. Sometimes you just got to have a big loaf of cheesy garlic bread.

Ingredients Needed
- Ciabatta bread, split in half (can use regular loaves or mini loaves)
- Fresh mozzarella cheese - is a delicious and versatile cheese that is widely used in many dishes. It is a semi-soft, unripened cheese made from cow's milk and has a mild, slightly sweet flavor and a soft, creamy texture.
- Butter, softened - is the most commonly used type of butter in baking, as it allows for more control over the amount of salt in the recipe.
- Freshly grated parmesan cheese - is a hard, granular cheese that originated in Italy. It is typically made from cow's milk and has a sharp, nutty flavor. Parmesan cheese is often grated and used as a topping for pasta dishes, salads, and other foods.
- Minced garlic - Chopped fresh garlic can take some time to chop so I often always use the freshly minced garlic that comes already made in a jar.
- Fresh Parsley for garnish
- See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.
