Beauty Parlor Garlic Bread
By: Pot Scrubber
Aug 1, 2005
Nothing beats fresh garlic bread right out of the oven, Dears. But sometimes we spend too much time gossiping at the beauty parlor and time gets away from us. Make these up ahead of time and have a handy cache of these ready for those days when your hair looks great, your nails are polished, and you must get straight to the phone to spread the juicy gossip you just heard.
SERVES 8 , 8 slices
Ingredients
- 1 loaf crusty French bread
- 1/2 cup butter, room temperature (8 tbsp)
- garlic powder
Directions
1
Buy a loaf of fresh french bread. You know- the kind that is piping hot everyday at your grocery baker at 4 O'clock every afternoon. Let cool and slice on the diagonal about 1 1/2 inches thick. Try to make clean, straight slices. You want at least one side to have as flat of a side as possible. You should have eight slices.2
Spread each slice on each side generously with butter. About 1/2 tablespoon butter per side.3
Sprinkle each side with garlic powder to your taste. Stack buttered slices together in stacks of two or four, depending on the size of your family unit. Wrap in heavy foil and freeze.4
________________________________________.5
When time to prepare- preheat a cookie sheet and oven to 425.6
Take bread out of the freezer at the last moment and separate slices. You may at this time sprinkle on top some dried parsley, or oregano, or cheese or whatever strikes your fancy on this particular day if you wish.7
Open oven door carefully and place the flattest side of each piece on preheated cookie sheet. Be careful not to set yourself on fire. Aqua Net hair spray is terribly flammable.8
Bake for 5-7 minutes and enjoy. The flat side will be toasted and the top side will be moist and buttery.9
NOTE: I suppose day old French bread would slice easier and cleaner and taste just as well. I just have never tried it and always do it this way.

I followed Wildflour's lead and just sliced the bread in half. I melted my butter and garlic together then used a pastry brush to brush on the butter. Works great! Also I added a dash or two of salt in with the butter. Went great with my supper #39900! Thanks Scrubbie!

Same way I've been makin mine, too! Easy-peasy and can't be beat!!! I took the easy road this time, though, and sliced it right though horizontally, slathered it with the garlic butter and some pre-grated asiago, parmesan and romano cheeses...gotta LOVE those little containers of the pre-grated!!!), and tossed it in the oven QUICK! (I had 3 things going on the stove, so had to hurry!!) What's a good Italian meal without good garlic bread??? One of the best parts of it! 
Made for the ZWT4 Thanks Potsie!

You are correct about this being very handy to have on hand after a gossipy trip to the beauty parlor--but I also tested it out for days when you are just feeling darn lazy, and it also works very well on those days. The technique of putting it on the preheated cookie sheet is a very good one, but you scared me about the Aqua Net so I just briefly pulled the cookie sheet out, tossed the bread on it and stuck it back in the oven. It IS ready in about 5 minutes so you'd best not be on the phone gossiping so intensely that you forget to check on it. I put this in the freezer in 3 batches on Monday. It is Friday and it is all gone, so there is proof of how handy and how good it is! Thanks, Pot Scrubber, for another entertaining, tasty recipe!

Made a whole batch of this to keep in the freezer to pull out for bruschetta and garlic bread for the two week tour of Italy & France! What a great idea! P.S. I put a plastic bag over my head so that my hair would not ignite, I hope this tip is useful to others.Thanks Potsie for a great and easy recipe!
