Notes
Tips for Success: Soften That Cream Cheese (take it out at least 30 minutes before). Fresh is Best (use fresh garlic and fresh herbs). Don't Be Shy with the Butter (make sure bread is generously coated). Cut Carefully (don't cut all the way through the bread). Prep Ahead (cream cheese filling and garlic butter can be made a day in advance).
Storage: Wrap leftovers tightly in plastic wrap or foil, or store in an airtight container. Keep in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. To reheat, wrap loosely in foil and warm in a moderate oven (around 350°F / 175°C) until heated through, or use an air fryer.
FAQs:
Can I use dried herbs instead of fresh? Yes, use about 1/3 the amount of dried herbs compared to fresh (e.g., 1 tbsp dried parsley instead of 3 tbsp fresh), but fresh herbs are highly recommended for best flavor and appearance.
What kind of bread is best? A soft, slightly sweet white bread loaf is traditional and works wonderfully. Think along the lines of a milk bread or brioche-style bun or loaf. The key is softness.
Is this bread spicy? Based on the ingredients, it has a tiny kick from red pepper flakes but is generally savory and garlicky. You can omit the red pepper flakes for no heat.
