1

Spray large cookie sheet with cooking spray. Remove dough from can. Twist dough into a long log; place on cookie sheet. Cover with plastic wrap; let stand while oven is heating. Heat oven to 350°F.
2

When oven is heated, remove plastic wrap from dough. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Meanwhile, in small cup or bowl, mix melted butter and garlic.
3

Remove bread from oven. Immediately brush garlic butter over bread. Sprinkle evenly with parsley. Cool 15 minutes before slicing.
4

When bread is cool, cut 1-inch slits crosswise and three-fourths of the way down into bread; do not cut all the way through. Insert 1 square of cheese into each slit.
5

Return bread to oven; bake 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Remove from oven. Cool 5 minutes before serving.
