Categories     Bread

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 loaf French bread
1/2 cup salted butter (softened)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
4 cloves garlic (minced)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Slice the bread in half lengthwise and place each half on a baking sheet.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the butter, olive oil, basil, oregano, parmesan, minced garlic, salt and pepper. Mix it well.
  • Spread the butter in a generous, even layer on each half of the French bread.
  • Put the baking sheet underneath the broiler in the oven. Broil until it just starts to brown. Watch it closely because how fast it cooks is dependent on how hot your broiler is and how close your rack is to the heating element. It shouldn't take more than 5 minutes.
  • Devour.

THE BEST GARLIC BREAD



The Best Garlic Bread image

We went very classic with this garlic bread recipe-lots of butter and lots of garlic loaded onto warm, soft and pillowy French bread. You could make a light meal by rounding it out with a crisp green salad. Or serve it our favorite way-alongside your favorite red-sauce pasta.

Time 30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 large soft Italian or French loaf
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley leaves, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Arrange a rack in the center of oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
  • Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter is golden and the garlic is very fragrant, about 3 minutes.
  • Slice the bread in half lengthwise. Liberally brush the crust with the garlic butter. Turn the bread cut-side up. Slice each loaf crosswise at 2-inch intervals without cutting all the way through, making "pull-apart" garlic bread. Liberally brush the cut sides of the bread with more garlic butter, spreading any remaining garlic evenly over top. You should use all the garlic butter. Carefully transfer the bread to a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Sprinkle the loaves with the Parmesan and a pinch of salt and bake until the edges of the bread are a deep golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Top with the parsley. Serve warm.

EASY BUTTERY GARLIC BREAD

For the best garlic bread, use softened butter and a generous amount of fresh garlic. We bake the bread wrapped in foil and turn the bread once during baking so that the bottom crust of the loaf does become too hard.

Time 30m

Yield Makes approximately 16 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 loaf French or Italian bread (1 pound)
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened, see notes for using salted butter
1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic (3 to 4 cloves)
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley or basil
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, optional
1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese, optional

Steps:

  • Set the oven rack to the center position. Heat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Combine the softened butter, garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Use a fork to mix the ingredients together.
  • Slice the loaf of bread in half, lengthwise. Face the bread halves cut-side-up, and then divide the garlic butter mixture between each half. Spread into an even layer all the way to the edges. Put the bread halves back together and wrap with foil.
  • Place the wrapped garlic bread onto a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Flip the bread and bake another 5 to 10 minutes or until the butter has melted into the middle of the loaf.
  • Unwrap the foil then position the bread halves so that the cut-side is facing up. Scatter cheese over the bread then bake, uncovered, until the cheese melts and the edges of the bread crisp up a little, about 5 minutes.
  • Slice the bread and serve warm. Keep garlic bread warm by wrapping in foil. Or wrap in foil and keep in a warm oven (170 to 200 degrees F).

GARLIC BREAD



Garlic Bread image

You may have once struggled with dry or greasy breads reeking of burned or raw garlic, but it's time to put that behind you. This is a versatile recipe, as readily made with thin baguettes, as it is with rustic sourdoughs and airy Italian loaves. Cutting the bread like a Hasselback potato keeps the butter from seeping out and allows the garlic to infuse the bread with its flavor without scorching. But, if it's an extra cheesy garlic bread you're looking for, slip a little mozzarella into each slit.

Categories     dinner, weekday, breads, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup/8 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 stick), melted
4 fat garlic cloves, grated
1/2 cup Parmesan, grated
1/4 cup firmly packed chopped flat-leaf parsley
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Black pepper
1 baguette or rustic crusty loaf
1/2 pound fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees. In a small bowl, stir together the butter, garlic, Parmesan and parsley. Add the salt and generously season with pepper. Set aside while you cut the baguette.
  • Cut deep slits into the baguette, 1-inch apart - don't cut all the way through the loaf - and place the baguette on a large piece of foil. Using a teaspoon or an offset spatula, generously spread the seasoned butter inside each slit. Make sure to reach the bottom of the slit; don't be shy here.
  • Wrap the baguette in the foil, place on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the baguette from the oven and unwrap the top (leave the bread on the foil). If you're adding mozzarella, use the offset spatula or spoon to gently open each slit and tuck a piece of mozzarella in (it's O.K. if the cheese pops out from the top a little). Return bread to the oven and bake until crisp and golden on top, another 5 minutes. Slice with a serrated knife (or tear with your hands) and serve at once.
