In a medium bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, minced garlic, garlic salt, and dried oregano. This mixture will be the flavorful base for your cheesy topping. Stir until everything is well-blended. As the garlic hits the butter, you’re already set for some aromatic magic.

Take your rustic loaf and carefully slice it in half lengthwise. If you prefer, you can slice it into smaller sections to create more manageable pieces. Just be sure not to cut all the way through; you want to keep the loaf connected at the bottom.

Spread the garlic butter mixture generously over the cut sides of the bread. Make sure to get every nook and cranny, as this will infuse flavor into the bread.

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the buttered surfaces. Don’t skimp here—more cheese equals more joy. Then, finish with a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan for extra flavor and a lovely golden finish when baked.

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the prepared bread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 15-20 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and begins to brown. Keep an eye on it because no one wants burnt garlic bread.

Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a minute. Slice and serve warm. The crispy edges, combined with the gooey cheese and flavorful garlic, make it an instant favorite.
