- Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- Prepare Bread:
- Using a serrated knife, slice the loaf of Italian or French bread into 1-inch thick slices without cutting all the way through, leaving the bottom intact.
- Make Garlic Butter:
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
- Add Cheese and Sauce:
- Using a pastry brush, generously brush the garlic butter mixture between the slices of bread, making sure to get the butter into the crevices.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese and shredded Parmesan cheese between the slices of bread.
- Add Toppings:
- Spoon pizza sauce between the slices of bread, spreading it evenly. Add your favorite pizza toppings between the slices, pressing them gently into the bread.
- Bake:
- Place the assembled bread on the prepared baking sheet. Wrap the loaf loosely with aluminum foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Broil (Optional):
- Remove the foil and broil the bread for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown and slightly crispy.
- Serve:
- Remove the Garlic Butter Pizza Pull Apart Bread from the oven and let it cool slightly.
- Serve warm, pulling apart the slices to enjoy the cheesy, garlicky goodness.
