Garlic Bread

Sounds difficult, but once you get the hang of it, it's actually quite easy. This bread dresses up Italian meals, and it disappears fast! Make two loaves for company!

SERVES 8 , 1 large loaf (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Slice loaf, LEAVING CRUST INTACT, into slices.
  2. 2
    It is important NOT to slice through the bottom.
  3. 3
    Set aside.
  4. 4
    Mix butter with other ingredients.
  5. 5
    Allow to sit on counter a while, so flavors travel all through the butter.
  6. 6
    Take a length of foil, and place loaf lengthwise on the foil.
  7. 7
    Very gently, spread slices apart, being careful not to break bottom, and spread with butter mixture.
  8. 8
    When all slices are spread, use any leftover butter to spread the top of the loaf.
  9. 9
    Wrap sides of foil up.
  10. 10
    Leave top UNCOVERED.
  11. 11
    Twist ends of foil.

Wonderful! It tasted very similar to the way my favorite pizzeria makes it. Thank you.

    Very tasty. I do add in the extra garlic (I use bottled minced) and I also add 1/4 tsp garlic salt, which enhances the garlic flavor. Don't use a generic parmasean cheese. I made that mistake, and it just didn't taste as good as usual. I make italian bread dough in my bread machine, bake in the oven, put butter in and stick back in the oven totally covered with foil since it is already crusty from being baked.

    This was good. I just made it tonight, however, I didn't go through the complicated process of slicing it & having to be careful not to break the bottom. I just sliced it in half, slathered on the butter mixture,wrapped it foil & threw it in the oven. All in all, I really liked it.

    This bread was not at all difficult to make and was a huge success. My family loved it with their lasagna. I used fresh basil and oregano because it is growing in the garden. I wish I had grated fresh parmesan too, but didn't have it in the house. It came out perfect and crusty on the outside, moist on the inside. I was unsure about how just mashing a garlic clove worked so I actually minced three and added about a tsp. of powdered garlic and I still did not get any complaints about being it being too garlicky. I also sat the mixture on the counter for about 45 minutes to let the flavours "marry". My only wish is that we had made more. Thanks for posting Jane. I will definitely make again and again.
