In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, minced garlic, chopped green onions, parsley (if using), black pepper, and salt. Mix until smooth and creamy. If desired, stir in red pepper flakes for extra heat. Set aside.

Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Using a serrated knife, cut the bread loaf diagonally at 2-3 cm intervals without cutting through the bottom. Create pockets for filling. Generously spread cream cheese mixture into each pocket. Combine melted butter and salt, then brush over the exterior of the bread.

Place stuffed loaf on a baking sheet and wrap loosely in aluminum foil. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking for 10-15 minutes until golden and crispy. Meanwhile, prepare garlic topping by mixing melted butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley. Once bread is done, brush with garlic topping and return to oven for 2-3 minutes to meld flavors.
