This Hasselback Homemade Garlic Bread recipe has MORE butter, MORE cheese, MORE garlic, and MORE bread in every single bite. It’s glorious.

Cheese Bread

First thing: this homemade garlic bread recipe is the bomb.

Second thing: Last week, I got some evil Kerrygold Samples in the mail. Basically, it was a box filled with cheese and butter.

Aw, shucks.

What is a girl to do?

To prevent myself from inhaling it all in a 24 hour period, I put some in the freezer, but then immediately thought of this bread I’ve been wanting to make. Everyone has seen the Hasselback Potato, right? Well this is a much more scandalous take on that. Think MORE butter, MORE garlic and MORE cheese. Carbs are my friend, can you tell?

They hang out in my booty.

{TMI? Sorry.}

This garlic bread recipe is the very reason why I run. It helps lessen the blow to the whole ‘carbs setting up shop in my hiney’ thing.

And believe it or not, this is super simple to make! I think its safe to say we all have the ingredients for bread in our pantries. Butter-most likely and cheese-uh, yeah! I seem to have these ingredients on hand all.the.time. I used garlic herb butter from Kerrygold and I’ve seen pre-made garlic butter at the store, but it’s really easy to make at home. {Mix butter and finely minced garlic together. Yup, that’s it.}

So, that’s all the info you need to know, m’kay? Let’s make this garlic bread recipe, yo.Cheese Bread

First thing you’re going to want to do is grab all your ingredients. Nothing to out of the ordinary here.Cheese Bread

Into a mixer bowl, add in your water, yeast and honey. Stir it all in and leave it alone for 5-10 minutes. You want to make sure your yeast is alive and kickin’.Cheese Bread

Once your yeast has gotten foamy, stir in the salt and the flour in 1/4 cup increments. PS-You never want to go above level 2 {stir} when using a KitchenAid Mixer. I just just read that in the instructions manual. Making dough=slow speed.Cheese Bread

Once the dough starts pulling away from the sides and the bowl is looking pretty clean, then it’s time to set the timer and walk away. 5 minutes later your dough should be tacky and smooth. Like, it should feel a little sticky, but leave nothing on your fingers when you poke at it. Grease your bowl and dough. Cover the whole thing with a towel or plastic wrap and let it rise for an hour or until it’s doubled in size.Cheese Bread

One hour later, I got me some purdy lookin’ dough!Cheese Bread

Punch that dough down and divide into two equal balls.cheesy bread

Roll those dough balls into two baguette shapes the length of your baking sheet. I like to twist mine because {1}they look cool and {2}it helps keep them from shrinking.cheesy bread

Cover with plastic wrap and let it rise for 30 minutes. Then preheat your oven to 400 degrees and place the pan nearby to get all that extra warmth seeping from your oven.cheesy bread

They should have doubled by the time the oven is preheated {about 45 minutes later}. Reduce the oven temp to 350 and bake for 20 minutes.cheesy bread

In the mean time, grab some of your garlic herb butter…cheesy bread

And melt it down. It’s so much faster working with melted butter.cheesy bread

You’re gonna want to slice some cheese too. I used a sharp white cheddar. OH yeah.cheesy bread

After 20 minutes, your french loaves should start to golden. Take them out of the oven and brush with some melted butter. Bake another 5-7 minutes or until perfectly golden. Remove from oven and cool 15 minutes. Now, we could stop here and have two lovely french loaves of bread but I’m insane and must add butter and cheese. So, lets keep going!cheese garlic bread recipe

Slice your bread into 1 inch slices 3/4 of the way down. It’s important to let your bread cool at least 15 minutes so that when you cut it it doesn’t squash the loaf right down. Make sure you use a bread knife too! *Important*cheese garlic bread recipe

Once your bread is sliced, take that garlic butter and slather it on top and in between all those cracks. Be generous!

Then put your slices of cheese into those cracks and bake it another 5 minutes or until all that cheese is melted.

Course Side Dish

Servings 2 loaves
Calories 1421 kcal

Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 cup Warm Water
  • 1 Tablespoon Honey
  • 1 envelope Active Dry Yeast 2 1/4 Teaspoons
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 3 cups bread flour
  • Olive Oil For Greasing Surfaces
  • 1/3 pounds Sharp White Cheddar Or Any Other Cheese You Prefer
  • 1/2 cup Garlic Butter

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, stir water, honey and yeast together. Let yeast proof 5 minutes. Once you know yeast is active, stir in salt and the flour in 1/4 cup increments. If you are using a stand mixer, be sure to not increase your speed higher than a 2 or ‘stir’. Once dough starts pulling away from the sides and the bowl seems to be pretty clean, set a timer for 5 minutes and walk away. Let the machine knead the dough. After 5 minutes, dough should be smooth and tacky but when touched shouldn’t leave any dough on your fingers.
  • Grease the bowl and the dough. Cover with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and let rise 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  • Punch down dough and cut into two equal portions. Form into two long baguettes the length of the cookie sheet. I like to twist mine because it looks cool, but it also keeps its length and doesn’t shrink. Cover with plastic wrap and rise 30 minutes. Start to preheat oven to 400 degrees F and place dough close to the oven where it’s nice and warm. Once oven is preheated, remove plastic wrap, from the dough reduce oven to 350F, put the bread into the oven and bake 20 minutes.
  • In the meantime, slice the cheese into thin slices and melt the butter.
  • Pull loaves of bread out of the oven after 20 minutes and brush with the melted garlic butter. Bake another 5-7 minutes or until bread begins to turn a golden brown. Remove from oven and cool 15 minutes.
  • Cut 1-inch slices 3/4′s of the the way through the loaves. Brush garlic butter in between each slice and fill with a slice of cheese. Bake another 3-5 minutes or until cheese is completely melted.
  • Serve immediately.

    Made this yesterday, followed the recipe exactly except I used a different cheese.

    They were so delicious, reminded me of a better version of East Side Mario’s Bread.

    Twisting the dough gives it a neat finished shape.

    It’s a keeper will make often, thanks for the recipe!

    1. Lauren

      Yes, once the bread is made, you can form into loaves and freeze immediately. Then when you defrost, it will rise and then you can bake and fill with the cheese.

    Is that a metal bowl you let your dough rise in? I always heard you shouldn’t use metal when dough is rising. I make our bread and never use metal.

  18. Victoria

    Okay…great recipe. but why the huge preamble about it being bad for you and the carbs and having to hide half the Kerrygold box in your freezer??? I dont come to websites like yours to feel like I need to be hiding my food away because its going to make me fat, or that your bread is “going to give me a reason to run.”

    Can we just enjoy the your bread recipe for what it is…delicious food. I might be the only one but I dont really care to hear about how naughty you or we are going to be by eating this bread.

  19. Steve

    I think I have yeast issues, lol. My mix was very dry after adding the flour. I made a second batch that was a little better, but it just didn’t look smooth like the pictures. Everything else seems right…what do you think?

  20. Karen Turner

    Oh my this sounds so delish!! I was just wondering, would you get the same results if you used instant yeast? Also could you replace the bread flour with self-rising or AP flour? Thank you so much.

    Just found this on pinterest and I’m planning on making it for Christmas. I have a quick question. Would it be okay to leave the bread out and wait to do the last round of garlic butter/add the cheese for 1-2 hours? I am making a chicken for dinner, and want to make sure all the food is done at the same time. I’m thinking I will bake the bread, then throw the chicken in. Once the chicken is done, that’s when I’ll add the butter and cheese, and melt them in the oven while the chicken is setting for a couple minutes. Would this be alright? Or do these steps need to be done immediately? Thanks!

  22. Sherry Hoang

    I tried to make this bread but my dough came out tough. I followed the recipe to the teeth. I couldn’t even knead it by hand. Thats how tough it is. I used the kicken aid with the dough hook. Didnt go be on 2 when mix. Am I missing something? Maybe I the yeast sit to long? Help. I will make it again. Hope second time will come out right. ThAnks

  40. Gagan

    Hi, I couldn’t wait to try this. So I just made the dough, but my dough is nowhere close to being as smooth as yours, I don’t know what I did wrong, but the dough is very hard to touch. I used the same proportions of ingredients as listed. Is there anything I can do to fix it now. It is sitting for fermentation. I am afraid the bread will turn out too hard. Please advise, Thanks!

    1. Lauren

      It sounded like you added a touch too much flour. You really want to add the flour in bit by bit as you’re mixing/kneading to make sure the dough doesn’t get too dry. Sprinkle in a little water and work it into the dough to loosen it up.

    AWESOME!! I’ve been looking for a simple garlic bread recipe that actually uses homemade bread. I keep finding ones that start with store-bought French bread. Ummmm. NO! Of course, I was trying to be good and NOT add cheese, but oh, well. (Yes, I know I could just skip the cheese, but I’m a FIRM believer in following a recipe the first time 😉 )I’ll be making this this weekend 🙂

  44. Shehla

    I have NEVER made bread but this looks too good to pass up. One question though, I know substitution is bad but is it a huge no-no to use all-purpose flour for this?

  45. Zuray

    I cant for the life of me make hasselback potatoes, my cutting technique is too ham handed.This looks divine! Cant wait to try it. Who knows, maybe the bread can handle my knife skills better…

    I wanted to thank you for this recipe. I made it tonight for the family and it was SO delicious and very well received by all. The dough worked up very nicely and I had no issues with it until I went to twist it. I could absolutely not get that twist to lay flat on the sheet for me! I had to gather some extra hands to keep the twisted loaf in place while I covered it to help hold it in place. I guess I need some more practice in that area, but I’m just not sure how to get it to stay put.

    Even though the loaf ended up crooked, no one cared. It baked up beautifully and by the time I whipped up some garlic butter and mozzarella to cram down into the slices, the kitchen was smelling wonderful and I had people in line just waiting to pull it apart the minute it came out of the oven!

    YUM! I’ll definitely be making this again.

  49. Shannon

    Wow oh wow!!! I just made this! Mine didn’t look as pretty as yours but damn it was good!!!! I used Monterey Jack cheese (that’s all I had) and I made my own garlic butter using well…butter garlic parsley salt and some onion powder, but it was still amazing! My hubby, son and I devoured both loaves in 10 minutes lol. I never was a runner but might need to re think it after eating all that bread. yum yum yum! Thank you! Will be making this again very soon!!!

  54. Elle

    Thanks for this awesome recipe. Had a little trouble with it being dense after rising so had a hard time making it long. Just wondering if you sift the bread flour first? I’m not sure why my dough just didn’t mix as smooth as yours. I baked it still otherwise , it came out good but chewy. Should I be sifting the flour? Thx!

  55. Elle

    Thanks for sharing this recipe 🙂 tried it tonight but had a little difficulty along the way. The dough didn’t come out as smooth as yours after kneeling. Do you have to sift the bread flour? Also, after rising the pulling the dough, it felt dense and was hard to twist. Is that normal? It’s my first time making bread so wasn’t sure if I was doing it right. Anyhow, the bread came out pretty good still, a little thick since I couldn’t stretch it too much and a little dense. Husband just had a whole loaf and even my two year old has been nibbling on it. Thanks again 🙂

    1. Lauren

      Hi Tammy! Thanks for your note 🙂

      I’ve been having trouble with people stealing my photos, posting them on their own site with my recipe and pinning from THEIR site instead of mine. This is a copyright violation, so I reported them. I think as a consequence of that, there are people getting these emails because pinterest is trying to get rid of those pins from the wrong sources. If you’d like to re-pin this recipe from my board, it shouldn’t get deleted. http://www.pinterest.com/pin/157344580704632025/

  58. Jobel

    This looked so delicious I had to try it. So I followed the recipe and my dough was nice and soft, but after I baked the loaves they were hard as a brick. Could you please tell me what I did wrong. The bread tastes good but it is so hard one can’t really enjoy it. Thanks

  59. Lesa @ Edesia's Notebook

    Why are you not allowing this recipe to be pinned? I pinned it a long time ago and got an email from Pinterest today telling me they deleted it because the content’s owner made a copyright complaint under DMCA. I thought maybe it had been pinned incorrectly (not directly from your blog or something), so I found it here and pinned it again using the embedded pin it button on your image. I just got another email from Pinterest saying they deleted that one also. If you don’t want this image pinned, why do you have a pin it button on the image? I am sure I have pinned other recipes from your blog but have not had a problem with them.

  60. stephanie

    Would I be able to make this up until you cool for 15 and then slice to put the cheese in? I was hoping I could brush with the melted garlic butter, bake, let cool, then actually transport it to a party and continue. Will that work?

    I know this is an old post, but I saw it while searching for garlic breads and it looks amazing. I’m using my sourdough bread, parsley garlic butter and cheddar. Can’t wait (it’s baking right now).

  70. Courtney

    I love this bread! I have a problem, though, and I hope you can help me with it. There isn’t a store within driving distance that sells garlic butter, so I have to make my own. Half the time it is kind of okay, the other half it is bad. How would you make the garlic butter yourself? Garlic powder? Minced garlic? Salt? How much butter to how much garlic?

    Thanks.

    1. Lauren

      It’s really up to you. I usually do grated garlic in softened salted butter with a few dried herbs {basil, oregano, parsley etc.} If you let this sit for an hour or two to let the flavors meld together, it turns out pretty good! Good luck!

    I made this today for my Mother’s Day lunch. It was awesome!! I actually made the dough the day before and after forming the loaves, I covered them and put them in the refrigerator to bake today. It worked out great! I used Monterey Jack cheese. I didn’t have garlic butter, but I just used melted butter and sprinkled the loaves with a “rustic herb seasoning” mix I had. Everyone loved it! I was hoping I would have leftovers to enjoy after everyone left, but sadly, 6 of us ate 2 loaves in one sitting. At least it was a success! Thanks!

    I bought the ‘take and bake’ loaves from the grocery store to make my life a little easier and prepped them yesterday and will cook them today for an Italian Feast.
    I can’t WAIT to try it, but mine is nowhere as beautiful as yours! I had trouble with the bread breaking after I had gotten some of the cheese into the slices; but I also don’t see that I could’ve cut it any more shallow, since I needed room to get the cheese and butter down in it.
    Nonetheless, I’m sure it will be delicious!

  80. Melrose

    Oh no. Oh no. I want it. I want it right meow. I think I might have left drool on my keyboard. You genius. You absolute genius.

    You are an excellent writer. I am torturing myself here in Cambodia, where white rice is eaten at every meal- lately I’m not even able to stomach that- and I’ve been looking at Pinterest to feed my hunger. This looks delicious and I especially enjoyed your writing style! Thanks and Cheers!

  82. Jen

    Oh me, Oh my. We celebrated my mother in laws birthday with an Italian feast. I baked Rosemary bread which has been the family favorite for ever. I also took a risk and baked this, cheesy bread and it was by far the crowd pleaser.

    Everyone loved it, ate it and it was gone within a few minutes. Everyone kept getting up to get more. It was sinfully divine. A little heavy for me, but delicious nonetheless. My Rosemary bread didn’t stand a chance against it.

    I used Mozzarella cheese.

    Thank you.

    1. Lauren

      I would recommend freezing the dough after the first rise once it’s shaped into loaves. Then you just pull them out, let them rise and bake. But yes, you can freeze the cooked loaves–just make sure you wrap them tight!

  84. BakersBucketList

    HI! This blog & bread looks beautiful! Saw it last night on pinterest and im trying it out right now. Ive just come upon a slight snag as Im unsure if you’re saying to let the dough rise for 30 minutes (2nd rise) + 45 minutes (preheating oven time) = 1hr 15mins in total.. can you clarify please?

  85. MShipman

    I made this…well attempted, twice now, i am having trouble with my dough, it doesn’t turn out smooth and tacky, but dense and crumbly, any suggestions? I feel like I might use too much flour but I am following the recipe exactly, any remedies?

    1. Lauren

      Use less flour! A lot of the time people measure flour differently and it can measure differently depending on humidity, high altitude, etc.. Just add the flour in bit by bit until it looks like it should and don’t worry that it’s less than the recipe states.

  89. Courtnie

    Hi i am so excited to try this bread! However, i have attempted the dough twice now, following exact instructions, but it is too dry? Any tips for a rookie?

    1. Lauren

      Don’t add as much flour. Add it slowly. You want the dough tacky but not sticky. Once you start kneading it, it should become less sticky because the gluten starts developing. When in doubt, add less than you think you need and sprinkle a little in as necessary.

    1. Valerie

      You could mix it by hand. I did a batch of cinnamon rolls that way. Just make sure you knead it with your hands the full amount of time.

  90. Valerie

    Made this last night…sitting here munching on it now! First time I made bread from scratch. It is STUPID GOOD! LOL So glad I found your website. You’ve got a fan for life!!! Thanks!

    So, I am currently making the bread, but I don’t have a fancy mixer-I stirred it up by hand. The step that says to leave it for 5 minutes and when you come back it should be pulling away from the sides and shouldn’t stick to your finger…is it being mixed by the mixer during that 5 minutes? I was confused. Mine stayed very sticky. I even added more flour than 3 cups trying to get it to be less sticky. I wasn’t sure if should’ve kept stirring it. I hope it turns out! I have my in-laws coming over today for our Christmas celebration and I promised them cheesy garlic bread!

    1. Lauren

      I’d recommend freezing the unbaked loaf before it has risen for the 2nd time. Then when you pull it out, let it come to room temperature and rise. Then bake and add the garlic butter and cheese.

    Thank you so much for this recipe. My family has become addicted to it! My son requests it every Friday!! For anyone else who makes their own garlic butter-I found garlic puree in my local grocery store and it is fantastic. I also add grated parmesan cheese to the butter. Mmmmmmm…

  102. Jen

    This looks so delish!! I was wondering if I could make a few of these ahead and freeze them. Do you know if they freeze well? Also, where do you find your garlic butter? Thanks!

    1. Lauren

      I’ve never frozen mine. If you’re going to freeze this, just freeze the dough without the butter and cheese. Defrost, bake and stuff them! And, I buy my garlic butter at the grocery store in the deli section, next to the fancy cheeses. I use kerry gold. Sometimes, around the butter section or next to the bakery by the french bread, there will be little containers of garlic butter.

  103. Felicia

    I was so excited to make this bread because it looked so yummy! I tried to make it twice and both times it didn’t rise. I followed all of the instructions but I have never made bread before so I don’t know what I am doing wrong… I am sad because I really wanted to taste this bread.

    1. Lauren

      Try getting new yeast, or checking the temperature of your water. Sometimes if it’s too hot or too cold, the yeast will be finicky!

    This certainly does look amazing. I’m going to ask a bit of a silly question. Would this freeze well? I would LOVE to make this, but I’d rather do a larger quantity and freeze the extras so the next time we have spaghetti I just have to pull it out and finish baking it. Would that work?

  108. Amy

    My Shoprite did not have any garlic butter! To make garlic butter from home, what should be the proportion of minced garlic to the butter?

    1. Lauren

      Depends how garlicky you want it to be. I’d probably add 2-3 large cloves grated into 1/2 cup softened butter to start. And the longer it sits, the more flavor it will have!

  109. Ivette R.

    I made this tonight. It’s actually quite easy with the stand mixer.

I pointed fingers at the children while my cheeks were stuffed like a squirrel in the fall.

  118. Gisele

    Hey Lauren, love your blog, love your recipes, I’m just in love with your new channel on Youtube and, well, I just tried my very first recipe from your blog… I tried this bread, I’m not a cooker beginner but I’m a beginner on the art of making bread (seriously, this is art!).. Well, my bread didn’t look as good as yours (as I expected, since I had no experience). BUUUUT, it was tasting so good, though.. The thing is, it came out very hard on the borders and kind of dry, I think… The taste was good, but the texture was very dry… Do you have any idea on how to solve this mistery, so my next trial will be better ? Tks anyway !! (btw, your daughter is soooooooo cute) =D

    1. Lauren

      Try using slightly less flour so the dough is a bit more sticky. Also, slathering the outside with lots of butter will help! It’s based off of a french bread recipe, so the outside edges are supposed to be a bit crunchy. Thanks for following my youtube channel 🙂 You’re so sweet!

  119. Koko

    Lauren, will you come cook for me? And I will sit and eat all day long.. These are seriously mouthwateringly delishiously good looking recipes.

    For the time being, though, I will definitely give this a try. :))

  120. Alli

    Ahh, this looks so good!! About how long will it take from start to finish? I really want to make this and have it be ready in time for dinner! Also, when you say grease the bowl and the dough, do you mean just grab some olive oil and do the paper towl thing? Can i put olive oil straight onto the dough as well? (pretty professional baker here, don’t know if you can tell! *sarcasm font*)
    Thanks so much!

    1. Lauren

      2 1/2-3 hours total…really depends on how warm your kitchen is and how good your yeast is. And I usually just pull the dough out, pour some olive oil into the bottom, rub it around with my fingers and then rub some onto the dough. Hope that helps!

  121. Janis

    Wow this looks so yummy and easy to make! I’m gonna have to try this soon, and I’m pretty sure this is going to be a favorite! 🙂

  122. mallory @ totalnoms

    This looks fab… but what do you mean when you say “Grease the bowl and dough” after you’ve kneaded the first time? Spray some oil on the dough? Get butter on your hands and work it through? I thought you weren’t removing the dough from the bowl… could you explain? Thank you!!!

    1. Lauren

      Take the dough out of the bowl, grease the bowl AND the dough, put the dough back into the bowl, cover and let rise.

  123. Ashley

    Do you think its possible to make the dough the day before?? I am having company over for dinner next week but i work during the day so this would be impossible for me to make the same day

    Can I replace the honey with something else? I don’t have any honey and really want to make this tomorrow. It was amazing last time!

  126. Linda

    I just made this, minus the cheese insertion, for dinner, and my husband declared it “great bread”. I subbed 1 cup rye flour for a cup of the regular flour and was afraid it might be a little dense, but it was light and delicious! This will definitely go on my rotation – thank you! I haven’t blogged about it, but I’ll make it again and credit back to you. 🙂

    Hi Lauren, this looks amazing, thanks in advance. I’m trying to make it now. I’m afraid I messed it up…I doubled it…have you ever done that? Tips?

    Thanks!!

    1. Lauren

      I don’t think doubling the batch would mess it up, but I’ve never tried it because there are only 3 in my family. Just make sure you knead it enough and when you bake it, make sure the loaves are as even as possible. Good luck!

    Here’s another version of cheesy bread. Slice bread, not quite all the way through. Then instead of garlic butter spread each slice with pesto and fill with shreded mozzarella and parmesan. Awesome! I think I’ll make one of each with your recipe! Thanks!

    I have been meaning to make this for awhile now but have a question. I am no expert in freezing bread but was wondering if this is something you knew? Do you think it freezes well and I wonder if I should freeze it before or after it sits out to rise? I’m thinking after it rises but have no idea!? I’m hoping to figure it out so I can make it ahead for our vacation next week!

    1. Lauren

      Brushing the outside of the bread with lots of garlic butter was a good trick to use. Also, my ends were a little tough and the bread softened up as it sat out.

  147. Samantha Ibanez

    Hello, I tried this but the bread came out kinda tough? Did I do something wrong? It tasted fine, but the texture was not very good. 🙁

    Oh my god. I just made this and its completely scrumptious! I had to make my own garlic butter with a stick of butter, a teaspoon each of dried oregano and dried basil leaves and I microwaved it for about 35 seconds. So yummy. I wanted to eat that on its own. But with the bread, its a match made in heaven!

  152. Amber

    I bought everything for this recipe, then realized it needed a mixer! No! Can I just knead it by hand? I’ve never done that before….but do you think the result would be similar as using a mixer? Thanks!

  157. Julie Stella

    Thanks for the recipe! I made this tonight. All the stars aligned, and I had both kerryGold garlic butter AND cheese in my refrigerator. I ended up leaving the cheese out because my oldest son does not like cheese. (I know, right? Who does not like cheese?). My loaves did not brown as pretty as yours did, but the bread was delicious. The texture of the loaves was just perfect. I used KAF regular flour instead of bread flour because I couldn’t find the bread flour at the market. I also salted the loaves a bit when I brushed on the butter. Brilliant recipe–so easy!

Looks like we’ll have to do some walking later! Thank you SO much for the recipe! This will become a special treat in our house for years to come!

    Ok, I’m in the process of making this right now and my dough looks nothing like yours. It never pulled away from the bowl, it’s not even slightly sticky and it’s very crumbly. I made sure and premearured out my bread flour too so I wouldn’t lose count either….I’ll see if it rises, but I’m not hopeful:-(

    1. Lauren

      Well, the only thing I can think of is you added too much flour! Unfortunately, I don’t have the measured weight in flour so that measurement is really a guestimation because everyone measures flour so differently. Bummer!

  171. How to Make Garlic Cheesy Bread

    […] First, get a baking sheet to roll those dough ball in the shape baguette. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees, bake for 20 minutes. Melt garlic herb butter into liquid condition. Slice some cheese too. Here, a sharp white cheddar was used. Make sure you slice your bread into 1 inch slices 3/4 of the way down with a bread knife. Finally, put your slices of cheese into those cracks. Bake it another 5 minutes or until all that cheese is melted. Not too hard was it? Thanks to the great recipe by Lauren’s Latest. […]

    I’ve just finished making this recipe – OMG my house smells amazing! I’m going to cut the bread into 1/2 and freeze straight away, otherwise I’d eat it in one go!

    We made this two days ago and it was SO GOOD!! However, we decided to make our own garlic butter because we were not all that satisfied with the Wegman’s garlic butter every time we bought it. We didn’t feel the price was justified so we made our own, then we followed your instruction to the T. It was SO GOOD, except!! I would add another “layer” of that butter after taking it out of the oven to serve so the “layer” would still be freshly “dipped.” HOWEVER, it’s SO GOOD!! TO DIE FOR GARLIC CHEESE BREAD!!! YUMMY!! ALL of my children LOVED the bread, ages 9, 6, 4 and 1 year old!! THANKS!!

  174. Ericka

    I am sooooooo glad I found this through Pinterest!!! This looks fantastic and I can only imagine how it must smell baking. I am a complete food-bread loving cheeseaholic and this has given me my first foodgasim of the day, Thank you!!!!!

  175. Toni

    i made the bread this weekend. i used ready made dough from pillsbury though. still came out bomb! we finished a loaf between the 3 of us.

  176. Britnae Sanelli

    Shut up! I totally repinned this off of some random persons pintrest board and had no clue it was you! Am I surprised? No, you are amazing! Keep up the good work lo!

  177. Kristen

    OMG this looks (and smells amazing)! I have this baking in my oven as we speak and my husband keeps sneaking a peek because he can’t wait to try it. We are having it with lasagna tonight- YUM!! Thanks! 🙂

    The dough is rising right now, and it looks so beautiful! I used to bake bread a whole lot more than I do now, and I think that the sight of it rising alone (not to mention how I know it’ll smell) is more than enough to get me back on the homemade bread train! Thanks!

  180. lunefantasy

    oh my goddess (yes i thing she could understand better than a Man for my healthy look)
    It’s fabulous to see, and I can imagine to eat….
    thanks a lot for this recipe

  181. Livia Gorin

    Did I miss the measurements for how much water, yeast, and honey? This looks amazing but I don’t know how much to use??! Thanks

  182. Jess

    I made this tonight and it came out perfectly. Thank you for a great recipe. I didn’t have any honey so I used maple syrup which gave the whole thing a nice subtle earthiness. Also, mine were done in 14 minutes (not 20) – so for anyone else who may have a not-so-perfect oven – keep a close eye on them.

  183. Cier Strife

    I found you through pinterest and have been salivating over your picture for a week. The other day I decided to try my hand at it and oh was it delicious! Thanks so much for this awesome recipe!

  184. Rachelle

    K, just made this bread. I have never made bread from scratch, usually it comes home in a frozen package! This was amazing!!! My husband ate it and said ” okay honey, this is one you Have to put this on a card, please do not loose it!” we will be making this ALOT!!!! Thank you;)

    1. Lauren

      You can make this with all purpose flour, just knead it an extra minute. The bread flour has extra gluten in it, so it adds chewiness.

  185. teresa

    Mine is rising right now, can’t wait to try it!! My first attempt didn’t go well, my dough was too dry, so I tossed it out, started again and had to add an extra ounce or so of water…now it is rising and looks perfect. Thanks for the recipe, it looks so awesome I can’t wait for dinner!!

  186. Shalla

    I am making this for my husbands family’s Christmas eve dinner
    I am making it the day ahead and stopping at the baking part and putting in fridge I hope this will still work
    I am so excited

  187. Erin @ Texanerin Baking

    I made this again a few days ago when I was feeling really depressed (and I was constantly thinking about this bread and I was forced to make it again to put me out of my garlic cheesy bread longing misery) and I used more whole spelt this time. I think that 50/50 is the best mix. 🙂

  188. Erin @ Texanerin Baking

    Hahaha. Wow. We just inhaled the last piece of this. I only made 1/3 of the recipe so that I wouldn’t feel sick after eating two entire loaves and it’s a good thing I did it that way. I have no self control. That was the most amazing garlic bread ever. Or cheese bread. Or whatever. Most amazing bread ever. I made it 50% whole spelt and I couldn’t tell that it was half whole grain! Next time I’ll try it with 75% whole spelt. I love how easy it is. I’ve told my husband that I’m sending him this recipe and that he should make it for me one day when I come home late from work. He is not a bread baker. He is also not a baker or cook or anything. Everyone can make this! It’s absurdly amazing. I found you through Stumbleupon or Pinterest and have been eying this recipe since then. Today I have a horrible stomachache and thought why not. I needed something to cheer me up and this did it! Thank you!

  189. Jennifer B

    I too could not find a printable link? Was wondering if I could get one emailed to me or if you could re-post a link to this recipe. Thanks

  190. Katy

    Hi Lauren! I’m so glad I came across your blog! I’ll be making this bread ASAP, using a combo of Jarlsberg and white cheddar, since that’s what I have left from making super cheesy, creamy potatoes au gratin. Thanks for sharing what you do!!
    I’m hoping there’s a way I can follow you thru Blogger or Google+, but I’m having trouble figuring that out :/

  191. sherry

    This bread looks amazing!! I plan to make!!
    Question- can you make it ahead and do the last step later, such as when you arrive at your destination or does it need to be completed all at once?

  192. RaineDear

    Hi, I’m new to this blog thing an’ all!…Awesome looking’ food here!!!!
    …but I’m blond and cannot find the printable recipe for the Hasselback Garlic Cheesy Bread! Help??? Thanks

  193. Amy @ uTryIt

    This is such a mouth watering recipe. I gotta try it soon. Kerrygold is my favorite butter. I can tell this bread must be the bomb! Gosh…I’m drooling over this.

  194. Melanie

    I love, love, love Kerrygold cheese and I have to say that this is honestly some of the most delectable bread I’ve ever seen. Why didn’t I think of sandwiching cheese in between the slices? Just brilliant.

  195. Ali Mc

    I just found you through pintrest; someone who bookmarks my hummus had this too 🙂 so I visited and OMG girl you are talented and this is my kind of recipe. I like the thought of healthy eating but I like to eat REAL and adding more butter and cheese is my kind of deal. Following 🙂 xo

  196. Lilian Gaertner

    Hi Lauren, I made this bread for Thanksgiving and it was even better than I thought(if that’s even possible). I made one loaf from start to finish to lunch (family couldn’t wait) and the second one I made everything but the cheese and butter at the end at lunch time,and then added them 7 min. before dinner and finished it up. Both turned out the same and super yummy! Thanks so much for a great recipe. My family loved it.

    1. Me

      Was just thinking” there has to be an easier wa”y, like bread already baked, or even the bread you buy in store already mixed and let rise.

  197. Willa@ArmstrongFamilyFare

    This look really tasty! Hmm…I was planning on making garlic breadsticks for dinner, might just have to change plans!
    Thanks for sharing!

    whoooaaa! amazing amazing bread, perfect for thanksgiving dinner. trying not too look directly at it because it’s too delicious.

  199. Erica

    oh.em.gee. I think I just drooled on my keyboard. This looks absolutely incredible! I’ve never made bread before and I JUST got my very first kitchenaid mixer. This might have to be the first thing I make!

    1. Steph

      Hey! Thanks for the amazing, and super easy recipe!

      The only part I had trouble with is twisting the dough after the first rise. It got too thin and broke apart on me 🙁 Any tips?

      Thanks so much!

      1. Lauren

        Well, I twisted it just so it would keep its shape. That’s a totally optional step. You can just roll it out in between your hands and place it on the cookie sheet.

  200. Living The Sweet Life

    ……… im lost for words!! This bread is fantastically-amazingly-delicious looked ~ the cheese just oozing out is calling my name (and who am I to make something like this wait for me 😀 LOL). Great recipe !!

  201. Megan Pence

    I don’t know what to do right now…all I can manage is to stare blankly at my screen and will a loaf of this into my mouth. o.O I’m making it this weekend, no doubt about it. Just brilliant! ~Megan

    This is why we’re friends, lover. 🙂

    AND – can you teach me about the cute little rounded edges on your pictures? I’m kind of loving that.

    AND THIS BREAD? My heart feels so good.

  204. Joanne

    Bread is TOTALLY the reason why I work out also. And by “Bread” i mean the loaf of this I’m probably going to INHALE once I make it. Swoon!
