Sobrasada and mozzarella sharing loaf

Published: 11 Jul 19
Updated: 18 Mar 24

We’ve stuffed a fresh sourdough loaf with butter, sobrasada, mozzarella and garlic, then topped with extra cheese before baking until crusty and golden. It’s a brilliant way to turn a simple loaf of bread into party-worthy starter or nibble.

Our tahini, sesame and fennel seed bread makes another spectacular savoury loaf, to tear-and-share amongst friends.

Method

Heat the oven to 200°C/ 180°C fan/gas 6. Put the butter, sobrasada, 100g of the cheese, the garlic and most of the parsley in a bowl and beat with a wooden spoon until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Make deep, diagonal cuts into the loaf (don’t cut all the way through). Turn and cut again to create a diamond pattern. Using a spatula, spread the flavoured butter into the cuts to fill the gaps. Scatter over the rest of the cheese and transfer to a baking sheet (see Make Ahead).
Cover the loaf tightly with foil, then bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for 5-10 minutes more until golden.

Meanwhile, put a griddle pan over a high heat and brush the spring onions with olive oil. Char for 2-3 minutes on each side until tender. Chop into 5cm lengths.
Serve sprinkled with the remaining parsley, with the spring onions alongside.
