Cut the French bread loaf into diamond shapes, making a grid pattern without cutting all the way through the bottom.

Make incisions about 1 inch thick, then cut in the opposite direction to create diamond shapes.

Melt 1 stick of salted butter in a bowl.

Add garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning to the melted butter and mix well.

Drizzle half of the butter mixture over the top of the bread, trying to get it into the cuts.

Use a basting brush to push the butter into the crevices of the bread until all the butter is used up.

Stuff mozzarella cheese into the cuts of the bread, ensuring most of it is inside the loaf.

Drape a large piece of foil over the bread, making a tent to keep moisture in.

Bake in the oven at 350°F for 20 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes until the top is slightly browned.
