For the sourdough

- 2 tsp thyme, chopped
- 100²µ/3½´Ç³ú butter, softened
- 2 heads slow-roasted garlic
- 250g/9oz Parmesan, grated

For the tomato relish
- 100²µ/3½´Ç³ú sun-dried tomatoes in oil
- ½ tsp dried chilli flakes
- 1 garlic clove, chopped
- red wine vinegar, to taste

Method
To make the sourdough, preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Cut the loaf lengthways and across three-quarters of the way through. Not all the way to the bottom.
Mix the thyme, butter, roasted garlic and some sea salt together in a small bowl. Spread the thyme butter inside the loaf.
Pack with the cheeses, grind over plenty of black pepper and drizzle with the oil. Wrap in kitchen foil, place on a baking tray and bake for 20 minutes. Open up the foil and bake for another 5–10 minutes until crisp.
To make the tomato relish, blitz all of the ingredients to a purée in a food processor or blender and let down with a little oil.
Drizzle the tomato relish over the baked bread and serve.
