Using a serrated knife on a large chopping board, slice the loaf on an angle with slices 1 inch apart but leaving the base intact. It's important not to cut through the bottom of the loaf so it holds together. Turn it 90 degrees and cut on the other angle to create a grid or checkerboard effect (see photos in the post if you need clarification).

Place the loaf on a large sheet of aluminium foil, large enough to wrap it.

Gently pry open the gaps and carefully spoon in the garlic butter (give it another stir regularly as the garlic and parsley sink to the bottom) letting the butter dribble down the inside of the bread. Take your time, you don't want it all just to pool at the bottom. Go over the whole loaf this way.

Now go over the whole loaf again, stuffing all the gaps with the cheese mixture.

Wrap the whole loaf in the foil and bake for 25 minutes then uncover and bake another 5-8 minutes, until the top is crusty.
