A copycat recipe from southernfoods.about.com from the famous New Orleans restaurant, Brennan's. My family loves this bread. The secret is to rub the outside of the bread with fresh garlic.

1 loaf (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    The secret to this wonderful tasting bread, is rubbing the outside of a loaf of bread with a piece of garlic that has been cut open lengthwise.
  2. 2
    Split loaf, and spread the melted butter over the cut sides. Sprinkle on the remaining ingredients. Finely chop the garlic cloves, and sprinkle those on top of the bread.
  3. 3
    Bake at 350ºF for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until nice and golden brown.

I made this last night. I really liked the idea of rubbing the garlic on the outside of the bread. It added an extra amount of flavor. We really liked this bread, it was simple and very good. Thank you for sharing this yummy bread recipe with us.

    Love garlic, love garlic bread and in restaurants will eat it - gosh how it varies! - rather than ordering a starter course or a dessert. LOVED this recipe: far and away the yummiest garlic bread I've ever eaten. Wonderfully garlicky and I just loved the blend of the herbs, parmesan and paprika. I made this for two, using two ciabatta rolls (they're pretty large!) and look forward to making it for us often and when serving meals to friends or family. Great with pasta, which is how we enjoyed it this time, and would also be wonderful with soup. Although I confess that, like several other reviewers, I could happily eat just this as a meal, with a good glass of red. I've never heard of Brennan's but this is now most assuredly the garlic bread recipe I'll be using. Thank you so much for sharing this fabulous recipe, lazyme. Made for the lazymecookathon, April 2009.

    Loved it! I rubbed the bread with the cut garlic, then diced it up. I added all the oregano, parsley, and garlic to the butter, because it was easier to spread that way. I then sprinkled the parmesan and paprika on the bread. I really liked this, but I will smell strongly of garlic tomorrow at work...it is close to Halloween....I should be safe from vampires! Made for Football Tag. Thanks!

    Never been to Brennan's but this garlic bread was really good... I loved the idea of rubbing the garlic on the outside of the bread!!! I was too lazy to sprinkle everything on top of the bread so I mixed up all the herbs into the butter and then sprinkled the bread with the parmesan and paprika... So good... I am glad I only made half a loaf, since my BF and I could have easily eaten the whole thing! Thanks for posting!!!
