Garlic bread

Garlic bread is a classic, savory side dish that pairs perfectly with any pasta, soup, or salad. Made with simple ingredients like fresh baguette, butter, garlic, and parsley, this recipe is easy to make and will fill your kitchen with a mouthwatering aroma.

Ingredients:

1 baguette (french bread)
88g
1/4 cup butter
54g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1 tbsp fresh parsley
5g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Garlic Butter:
- In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, and finely chopped parsley. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
3. Slice the Baguette:
- Using a serrated knife, slice the baguette into 1-inch thick slices. Be careful not to cut all the way through, so the baguette stays connected at the bottom.
4. Spread the Garlic Butter:
- Carefully spread the prepared garlic butter between each slice of the baguette, making sure to cover both sides of each slice for maximum flavor.
5. Wrap and Bake:
- Wrap the entire baguette in aluminum foil, sealing it well to ensure that the bread stays moist while baking.
- Place the wrapped baguette on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
6. Unwrap and Crisp (Optional):
- For a crispier texture, after the initial 15 minutes of baking, unwrap the foil to expose the top of the bread. Return it to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until the top turns golden brown.
7. Serve:
- Remove the garlic bread from the oven and let it cool for a minute. Serve warm as a delicious side to your favorite pasta dish or soup.

Tips:

- For a crispier texture, toast the garlic bread under the broiler for an additional 1-2 minutes.

- If you prefer a more subtle garlic flavor, use roasted garlic instead of fresh garlic cloves.

- Add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese on top of the garlic butter mixture before baking for an extra layer of flavor.

- For a healthier option, use a whole grain baguette and substitute butter with olive oil.

Enjoy your freshly made garlic bread as a delectable side dish or snack. The buttery, garlicky flavor combined with the crispy texture of the baguette makes it an irresistible treat. Whether you're serving it alongside a hearty pasta dinner or enjoying it on its own, this garlic bread is sure to be a hit.
