Stuffed Cheesy Garlic Bread
by Tarla Dalal

Bursting with flavour, this Stuffed Cheesy Garlic Bread can be served with soup or enjoyed as a snack by itself.

This herby, garlicky bread is stuffed with a succulent cheesy filling, which is also perked up with a tongue-tickling spice mixture that combines the best of spices and herbs.

The leavened dough is once again brushed with butter and topped with spices before baking. This gives the bread a super aroma, which wafts out of the oven as it bakes.

You are sure to enjoy the vibrant flavour and cheesy texture of this bread in every single bite.

Smoked Pepper and Cheese Bread and Sundried Tomato Loaf are other flavourful breads worth trying.
