By far, one of the best garlic breads I have tried!!! With lots of roasted garlic mingled in with butter and parmesan cheese, this bread would be a wonderful accompaniment to any spaghetti or chili dinner Ingredients:
9 -10 garlic cloves, unpeeled |
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened |
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated |
1/2 teaspoon table salt |
1 italian bread (preferably football shaped) |
ground pepper |
Directions:
1. Toast the garlic cloves in a small skillet over medium heat, shaking the pan occasionally, until fragrant and the color of the cloves deepens slightly, about 8 - 9 minutes.
2. When cool enough to handle, peel and mince the cloves (you should have about 3 T). Using a dinner fork, mash the garlic, butter, cheese and salt in a small bowl until thoroughly combined.
3. Preheat oven to 500.
4. Spread the cut sides sof the loaf evenly with the butter mixture; season with pepper to taste. Transfer the loaf halves, buttered side up, onto a rimmed baking sheet; bake, reversing the position of the baking sheet in the oven from front to back halfway throught the baking time, until the surface of the bread is golden brown and toasted, 5 - 10 minutes. Cut into 2 slices; serve immediately.
5. Note: if using salted butter, use about 1/4 tsp of salt.
