Preheat the oven to 180 C for about 15-20 minutes. Once your oven is preheated, your garlic bread will be ready to be put in. This step is essential to warm the bread until the full, rich and brilliant brown is achieved.

Take 33 gms of unsalted butter and let it soften at room temperature for ease of mixing.

Once sensitive, add 1/6 tbsp of finely chopped garlic, 1/6 tsp of mixed Italian herbs, and a pinch of salt to the butter. Fold these ingredients together to create a smooth and creamy garlic butter spread. Now, while we work on cutting our favourite French, Italian or homemade bread, we can set aside the garlic butter spread.

Now slice your bread loaf vertically in at least 1.5 cm thick pieces. Make cuts in such a way that you don't cut the entire bread. However, it should be easy to stuff the gaps with cheese.

Evenly spread the prepared garlic butter mixture on both sides of each bread slice. The sprinkling of butter mixture should be proper so that it infuses the aroma into each slice of the bread. This is a crucial step that completes the rich, garlicky flavour.

Crush your mozzarella cheese and some cheddar cheese. Mix the two cheeses in a bowl. Gently stuff this cheese blend between the cuts of bread. Be generous with stuffing the cheese since it'll break up and make a gooey, shabby center.

Now, wrap the stuffed bread loaf tightly in aluminium foil. This ensures that the loaf is baked evenly. Now place your wrapped bread loaf into the preheated oven. Allow it to bake evenly for about 15-20 minutes. This initial heating setup enables the complete melting of cheese and flavours to blend.

After 15 minutes, remove the foil and return the bread to the oven. Be prepared for an additional 5 minutes, or till the cheese is melted and the bread has turned a superb brilliant brown.
