   Using a sharp bread knife, cut the bread into about 1 inch slices from side to side going into both directions, repeating until entire loaf is cut. Do not cut through the bottom crust. It should look something like an onion mum.

   Wrap in foil the entire loaf and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes; unwraping foil packet enough to expose the bread. Bake for an additional 10 minutes or until cheese is melted.
