TOTAL TIME
1
Preheat the oven to 425o F
2
Melt butter and 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat
3
Add minced garlic, pepper flakes and oregano. Continually stir until the garlic softens but does not brown, approximately 2 minutes.
4
Incorporate half of the finely chopped parsley and salt, then remove from heat.
5
Place the two halves of the bread, insides facing up, on a rimmed baking sheet.
6
Compress the halved bread evenly to about two-thirds of its original height.
7
Brush half of the garlic-infused butter and oil mixture evenly across the bread, ensuring each piece receives bits of garlic and seasoning.
8
Combine the crushed tomatoes with the remaining garlic-infused butter and oil in the saucepan. Stir over medium heat until it reaches a boil, then reduce heat to allow the sauce to simmer and reduce, about 15 minutes.
9
Evenly spread the reduced tomato sauce over the bread.
10
Evenly sprinkle 2 cups of mozzarella cheese over the sauce-coated bread and bake for about 10 minutes or until the cheese has melted and turned golden brown.
11
Remove the bread from the oven and immediately garnish with 1/2 cup of shredded Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and the remaining parsley.
12
Allow the preparation to cool down for a few minutes before serving.
