Can I use other types of bread?

Answer: Absolutely! French bread is a classic choice, but you can also use Italian bread, sourdough, or even ciabatta. Experiment with different bread varieties to find your favorite. Just cut them into a shape you want your mummy to be in.

How can I make the mummy garlic bread spicier?

Answer: For a spicier twist, add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or a dollop of hot sauce to the garlic butter mixture. You can also use spicy string cheese or top the finished bread with a drizzle of hot sauce.

Can I use shredded cheese instead of string cheese?

Answer: Yes, you can definitely use shredded cheese instead of string cheese for this recipe. While string cheese creates a more visually appealing mummy effect, shredded cheese will still melt beautifully and add a delicious flavor to the garlic bread.
