The taste was good, however, spreading and stuffing inside the cuts was difficult and my bread ripped into 2 while I was stuffing across the vertical slit. Instead, it is easy to cut into regular slices, and spread the garlic paste and sprinkle with cheese. Heating probably should be reduced to around 10 to 12 minutes based on texture desired. Also, better use salted butter otherwise it would be too bland.

Tarla Dalal    Hi, While slicing the loaf, do not cut it too deep through the bread. if you feel it is getting baked more, you can cover it with foil and bake it.
