### 👨🍳 How to Make Mozzarella Garlic Bread
#### 1. **Prep the Bread**
Preheat your oven to **375°F (190°C)**. Slice your loaf in half lengthwise, creating two long pieces. Place them cut-side up on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper.
#### 2. **Make the Garlic Butter**
In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, minced garlic, salt, and parsley together until well combined. If you like a little heat, throw in a pinch of red pepper flakes.
#### 3. **Spread the Love**
Generously spread the garlic butter mixture over both halves of the bread. Make sure it gets all the way to the edges—no bite should be left behind.
#### 4. **Add the Mozzarella**
Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of each piece. Don’t be shy—this is where the magic happens. If you’re feeling extra fancy, sprinkle a little Parmesan on top too.
#### 5. **Bake to Perfection**
Bake for **12–15 minutes**, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the bread are lightly toasted. For extra golden cheese, broil on high for an additional 1–2 minutes (just watch it closely!).
#### 6. **Slice and Serve**
Let the bread cool for a minute, then slice into thick pieces. Serve warm and melty!
