1. Video tutorial: Crushing garlic

1. Mix the butter, mozzarella, garlic and basil and season well. Cut diagonal slices into, but not all the way through, the bread. Put a bit of cheesy butter in each slit, double wrap in foil and BBQ until the bread is golden and crisp and cheese melted.
2. You could also do this in a 220C/fan 200C/gas 7 oven for 25 minutes if you have no space on the BBQ.
