METHOD

  • preparation

    Place a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat it to 200 °C / 390 °F.

  • cut the bread and pan-fry pancetta

    Cut the bread loaf in a (2 centimeters) 1-inch grid pattern without slicing through and place it on an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet. Add pancetta cut into cubes to a pan and place over medium heat. Pan-fry for about 5 minutes or until the pancetta is golden-brown and crunchy. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to eliminate any excess fat.

  • gremolata sauce

    Add olive oil and butter to the same pan. The pan shouldn't be on the stove. Add diced garlic and chopped parsley. Stir to combine; the butter should melt.

  • bake and serve

    Stuff the bread with shredded cheese and pan-fried pancetta, and pour the prepared garlic parsley sauce all over the bread. Bake the loaf covered with foil for 20 - 25 minutes at 200 °C / 390 °F. Serve immediately.
