Have friends over for tea or cocktails and not sure what to serve as picking food? Make this cheese-loaded pull-apart bread – a great centrepiece to your leisure activities.
1 loaf sourdough bread ½ cup fresh pesto 350-400 grams shredded mozzarella Olive oil, to drizzle 2 teaspoons red chilli flakes Salt and pepper, to taste Parsley, for garnish
Preheat the oven to 175 degrees Celsius while you slice vertically through the loaf right up to the bottom but not all the way through.
Repeat the process by turning the loaf over in the other direction, to get a criss-cross pattern.
Fill up the gaps with pesto and season with salt and pepper.
Sprinkle the chilli flakes and fill up any remaining spaces with mozzarella cheese, right to the brim.
Drizzle with olive oil and place the loaf on a sheet of foil before baking for 30 minutes.
Sprinkle some chopped parsley and place on a serving board. Serve hot.
