Garlic Bread

This delicious, perfectly crispy Garlic Bread is prepared with roasted garlic. Roasting the garlic gives a subtle sweet taste and removes the raw pungent flavor of garlic. While there are various different ways to make garlic bread, this is a fast method which you prepare using a prebakes bread.

📝 Ingredients

• 1 french bread/baguette
• 1/2 cup softened butter (1 stick)
• 1 garlic bulb
• 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh herb
• salt to taste
• chili flakes if using
• freshly cracked black pepper

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Slice the tip off the entire garlic bulb and place it on an aluminum foil. Drizzle a little oil on top and wrap it around. Then place it on preheat oven at 400 F for 40 minutes.
2. 2Take the butter stick out of the fridge in the meantime for it to soften at room temperature. Don't melt the butter.
3. 3Once the garlic is ready, squeeze out the clove from the peel to a bowl. Add the softened butter to the bowl. Add salt, herb, pepper and chili flakes if using. Mash and mix it up.
4. 4Preheat the oven to 350 F
5. 5If you want soft garlic bread, then slice the bread in half, and spread the garlic butter on both the sides and then close the bread and wrap it with aluminum foil. Bake for 15 minutes.
6. 6If you want crispy, then face the sliced side up and bake it for 15 minutes.
7. 7Once cooled down, slice into bite size.
8. 8I like to grate some Parmesan cheese on top.
