Ingredients

15–20 garlic cloves, peeled2 tablespoons olive oil½ teaspoon red pepper flakes2 tablespoons sesame seeds2 tablespoons softened butter½ teaspoon salt, or to tasteFresh parsley, finely chopped1 large baguette or loaf of bread150–200 g fresh kaşar cheese, grated

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Place the peeled garlic cloves in a small ovenproof dish. Add the olive oil, red pepper flakes, and sesame seeds, then mix until the garlic is coated.
Bake for about 20 minutes, until the garlic cloves are soft and lightly golden. Keep an eye on them toward the end so they don't burn.
Remove the roasted garlic from the oven. Mash the softened cloves with the room-temperature butter and salt. Stir in the finely chopped parsley until everything is well combined.
Cut the bread into manageable pieces. Spread the roasted garlic butter generously over each piece, covering the surface evenly.
Sprinkle a generous layer of grated fresh kaşar cheese over the garlic-coated bread.
Return the prepared bread to the 200°C (400°F) oven. Bake for approximately 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the top is golden and bubbling. Adjust the time as needed for your oven and bread thickness.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it rest briefly. Serve while the cheese is still warm and stretchy, with the crisp edges and soft garlic-herb center at their best.
