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.

OUTRAGEOUS GARLIC BREAD

Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter
1 head garlic, cloves separated and peeled
1 cup freshly grated Italian Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 (20 to 24-inch-long) crusty French baguette
Fleur de sel or sea salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. (Make sure your oven is clean or it will smoke!)
  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the garlic, stir to coat with the butter, and cook, covered, for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is very tender. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside until cool enough to handle. Mash the garlic in the butter with a fork. Stir in the Parmesan, parsley, lemon zest, red pepper flakes, 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  • Slice the baguette in half lengthwise and place both halves, cut sides up, on a cutting board. Score each half diagonally (don't cut all the way through) in large serving-size pieces. Spoon all of the garlic mixture generously on the cut sides of the bread. Cut each half of the baguette in half crosswise along a score and place the 4 pieces on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake for 5 to 7 minutes, until the topping is bubbly and starting to brown and the bread is crisp. Transfer to a board, cut in serving pieces along the scores, sprinkle with fleur de sel, and serve warm.

AMAZING GARLIC BREAD



Amazing Garlic Bread image

I've tried to copy the garlic bread from a neighborhood bakery back home, but I can't come close to the quality of bread that they bake. My grandmother and uncles would always buy 2 half loaves each Sunday morning, one for the ride home and one for Sunday lunch. I use fresh baked French loaves or a chewy Italian loaf.

Categories     Breads

Time 35m

Yield 2 loaves, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 loaf bread (uncut and fresh as possible)
3 -4 garlic cloves, crushed to a paste (I use a mortar and pestle but you can probably use your press or processor)
2 teaspoons dried chili pepper flakes
2 teaspoons dried basil
2 teaspoons dried thyme
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon butter (adds a little more depth and richness)
2 cups parmesan cheese (not out of a store-bought shaker) or 2 cups romano cheese, grated (not out of a store-bought shaker)

Steps:

  • The trick with this recipe is to infuse the oil with the garlic. There are a couple of ways to accomplish this.
  • Using a small skillet and over medium-low heat, heat the olive oil, butter, and garlic until butter melts. Make sure you add garlic to the cold pan and let it warm along with the oil and butter.
  • Once butter is melted, reduce heat to low and let the oil/butter/garlic mixture cook for another 5 minutes.
  • Make sure you do not brown the garlic. If it starts to brown, remove from heat alltogether and let sit for 5 minutes off-heat to further infuse the oil.
  • You can also microwave the oil, butter, and garlic for 45 seconds to a minute to speed this up, but this doesn't give the mixture near the flavor as the skillet method.
  • While oil infuses, cut loaf of bread length-wise so you have two long halves.
  • Brush or spoon oil onto the cut-sides of the bread, making sure to cover all the way to the edges. It's okay to have some of the garlic from the mixture added as well, in fact it's preferred.
  • Sprinkle the dry seasons on the loaves (basil, thyme, and chili).
  • Salt and pepper the loaves.
  • Spread the parm or romano cheese on both loaves (I've even used some mozzarela for the string effect).
  • Bake incovered at 350 degress for 20 minutes or until cheese is completely melted and begins to brown.
  • Slice in big chuncks and serve alongside your favorite pasta or lasagna.

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 55m

Yield 1 loaf, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 -4 cloves garlic, whole
olive oil
5 cloves garlic, minced
3 -4 tablespoons butter, softened
1 1/2-2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 tablespoon parsley flakes
salt, pepper,cayenne,to taste
parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced or shredded (optional)
1 loaf good Italian bread or 1 loaf French bread

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Take a piece of foil and place whole garlic cloves in it, coating with a generous amount of olive oil.
  • Wrap tightly.
  • Bake until done, 20 min to 1/2 hour.
  • Cloves will be done when sweet smelling, soft and golden brown.
  • Split bread lengthwise.
  • Remove excess dough.
  • Mash roasted garlic with all other ingredients except cheeses.
  • Spread cut surfaces of bread with butter mixture.
  • Sprinkle with parmesan and layer bottom half with mozzarella.
  • Press halves together and wrap tightly in foil.
  • Bake at 350 degrees until outer crust is crispy and cheese is melted, about 15 minutes.
  • Let cool slightly and cut into thick vertical slices.
  • I like it just as it is, crispy outside, moist and chewy (and slightly saturated!) inside, but you could bake this open faced on a cookie sheet for a crisper texture.
  • If you do this, put mozzarella on both sides.
  • You can make the garlic butter ahead of time and refrigerate it.
  • It's also to die for melted over hot pasta!

Tips:

  • Use fresh garlic. Fresh garlic has a stronger flavor and aroma than jarred or minced garlic.
  • Roast the garlic. Roasting the garlic mellows its flavor and makes it more spreadable.
  • Use a good quality butter. The better the butter, the better the garlic bread will taste.
  • Use a variety of herbs and spices. Garlic bread is a great way to experiment with different flavors. Try adding herbs like parsley, basil, or thyme, or spices like paprika or chili powder.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment. There are endless possibilities when it comes to making garlic bread. Get creative and have fun with it!

Conclusion:

Garlic bread is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it simple or loaded with toppings, garlic bread is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give garlic bread a try. You won't be disappointed!
