In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, minced garlic, green onions, parsley (if using), black pepper, and salt. Stir until smooth and creamy. Add red pepper flakes if desired for heat.

Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Using a serrated knife, diagonally slice the loaf into sections 1-2 inches apart, without cutting all the way through. Spread cream cheese filling into each slice to fill the pockets. Combine melted butter and salt in a small bowl, then brush onto the bread's exterior.

Wrap the stuffed loaf in aluminum foil and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes until golden and crispy. During the bake, combine melted butter, minced garlic, and parsley in a small bowl for the topping.

After baking, brush the garlic topping onto the loaf and return it to the oven for 2-3 minutes to infuse flavors. Let cool slightly before slicing and serve warm.
