Knoblauchbrot

Zutaten

• 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

Zubereitung

1. 1

   Slice 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. 2

   Take the butter stick out of the fridge in the meantime for it to soften at room temperature. Don't melt the butter.

3. 3

   Once 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. 4

   Preheat the oven to 350 F

5. 5

   If 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. 6

   If you want crispy, then face the sliced side up and bake it for 15 minutes.

7. 7

   Once cooled down, slice into bite size.

8. 8

   I like to grate some Parmesan cheese on top.
