Get ready to bite into Italian goodness with our Cheesy Hasselback Garlic Bread. We’ve taken this traditional favourite up a level. Not only have we smothered the inside of a fluffy ciabatta with rich garlic oil and butter, but we’ve also added mozzarella in between slices. We love the melted, indulgent end result and so will you and your loved ones.

TIP: Slice the mozzarella into the same number of cuts you've made in the bread.
