Time 40m

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 Italian demi-loaves (or 1 large loaf)
1/4 cup Pesto
5 ounces thinly sliced low-moisture mozzarella
5 ounces thinly sliced Taleggio

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut into Italian demi-loaves (or 1 large loaf) at 1-inch intervals, taking care not to slice all the way through. Spread 1 teaspoon pesto between each slice. Stuff with thinly sliced low-moisture mozzarella and thinly sliced Taleggio. Wrap in parchment-lined foil and bake on a rimmed baking sheet until bread is crisp and cheese is melted, about 25 minutes. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients whenever possible for the best flavor and texture.
  • If you don't have pesto on hand, you can make your own by combining basil, olive oil, Parmesan cheese, pine nuts, and garlic in a food processor or blender.
  • If you don't have refrigerated pizza dough, you can use frozen pizza dough. Just thaw it according to the package directions before using.
  • Be careful not to overfill the bread bowls with cheese and pesto, or they will be difficult to close.
  • Bake the bread until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the bread is golden brown.
