Prepare the bread: Place the bread on a board. Using a large sharp knife, make deep crosshatch cuts, first in one direction, then at 90°, without cutting through the bottom. Gently separate each square to create pockets.

Prepare the garlic butter: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the chopped garlic and let it infuse for 2-3 minutes without browning. Off the heat, stir in the parsley, salt, pepper, and chili flakes (if using).

Stuff the bread: Preheat the oven to 180°C (convection if possible). Place a ramekin of water at the bottom of the oven. Soak all the slits in the bread with the warm garlic butter. Generously insert the grated mozzarella into each slit.

Bake: Completely wrap the bread in aluminum foil. Bake for 15 min. Remove the foil, increase the temperature to 200°C (or activate the grill) and continue baking for 5-8 min until the cheese is golden and the crust is crispy.

Serve: Remove the bread from the oven. Let it rest for 2 min. Serve immediately on a board and invite your guests to pull apart pieces.
- Choose a rustic bread with a thick crust and airy crumb for best results.
- Use the garlic butter while still warm to better soak the bread and start melting the cheese.
- Opt for low-moisture mozzarella (pizza type) and grate it yourself for the best stringy effect.
- The ramekin of water at the bottom of the oven creates steam for a soft interior.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the perfectly melted cheese.
