DAD'S GARLIC & WINE BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400.
• Slice the bread almost all the way through in 1" - 1-1/2" slices. (You want the loaf to stay intact while baking but easy to separate once baked).
• Place bread in a jelly roll pan on a large enough sheet of aluminum foil that you can fold the sides up to contain the wine/butter mixture (you WANT the bread to sit in the wine/butter mixture -- Oh yes).
• Place a sliver of garlic between each slice.
• Melt butter in glass cup measure in microwave.
• Stir in an equal amount of red wine to the cup.
• Drizzle the wine/butter mixture between each slice and pour remainder over the top. If you double the recipe, you'll want to mix it again mid-pour as the wine & butter tend to separate.
• Bake at 400 for about 20 minutes. Bread is done with the top and especially the bottom of the bread is crusty. We remove the garlic before eating so as not to offend others the next day.
• If you don't like this, you'll be the first one who didn't.

THE BEST GARLIC BREAD

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.

GOTTA-HAVE-IT GARLIC BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler.
• In a small bowl, mix together all ingredients until well combined.
• Cut the French loaf in half, lengthwise, and spread the butter mixture liberally on each half.
• Arrange on a sheet tray and broil until browned and toasty, about 3-5 minutes.
• Remove from the oven, slice and serve.
