Instructions

1

a) Preheat your oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.

b) Place your ciabatta loaf in between two wooden spoon handles on a board. Make slices widthways at 2cm intervals, making sure not to cut the whole way through - you'll make approximately 12 cuts.

c) Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Finely chop the parsley (stalks and all).

d) Drain the mozzarella and pat it dry with kitchen paper, making sure you squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Slice into as many rounds as you have cuts in the bread.

2

a) Pop a small saucepan on medium-high heat and add the olive oil (see pantry for amount) and butter.

b) Allow the butter to melt, then add the garlic and cook for 1 min. Remove from the heat, season with salt and pepper, then stir in the parsley.

c) Pop the ciabatta loaf onto a baking tray and use a teaspoon to spoon the herby garlic oil into each cut equally.

d) Push a slice of mozzarella into each cut to finish.

3

a) Drizzle the hasselback garlic bread with a little olive oil, then bake on the top shelf of your oven until the cheese is melted and slightly golden, 15-20 mins.

b) Once cooked, remove from your oven and transfer to a board.

c) Tear and share!

Enjoy!

Customer reviews

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Many enjoyed the taste, though some found it needed more garlic and a stronger cheese for better flavour.
  • Ease of prep: Some found it fiddly to prepare, with difficulty slicing the bread and inserting mozzarella without breaking the loaf.
  • Suggestions: Consider adding extra garlic and butter for more flavour; a firmer or stronger-tasting cheese might work better than mozzarella.
  • Next-day meals: The bread keeps well for snacking, but watch out for potential early spoilage.
  • Texture: Some found the bread became soggy in the centre; try squeezing mozzarella thoroughly and adjusting cooking time.
