Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C), convection mode if available.
- Cut off the top of the bread to create a lid and hollow out the inside carefully.
- Remove the casing from the chouriço and linguiças, chop them into pieces, and finely mince them in a food processor.
- In a bowl, mix the minced sausage mixture with the mozzarella, cheese blend, mayonnaise, oregano, thyme, and chives.
- Place the hollowed-out bread on a sheet of aluminum foil and fill it with the prepared mixture.
- Cover it with the bread lid and wrap the entire loaf tightly in the foil.
- Place the wrapped bread on a baking tray and bake for about 20 minutes.
- While it bakes, cut the bread you removed from the loaf into chunks.
- After 20 minutes, open the foil, remove the bread lid, and place the lid and bread chunks on the tray.
- Return to the oven under the broiler for another 5 minutes to toast.
- Serve the bread hot, using the toasted chunks for dipping into the cheesy, flavorful filling.
- Garnish with fresh basil if desired.
