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.

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.

Time 1h40m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

10 slices stale bread, torn into pieces (cubes)
4 cups milk, scalded
4 eggs, slightly beaten
1 cup sugar
1 cup canned evaporated milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 cup raisins
1 1/2 cups milk
1 cup sugar
3 egg yolks, slightly beaten

3 tablespoons whiskey

  • Pour the scalded milk over the bread; set aside.
  • Mix the eggs with the sugar.
  • Stir in the remaining ingredients and pour the egg-and-sugar mixture over the bread-and-milk mixture.
  • Although it doesn't state to do this with any bread pudding I usually press the bread down with a spatula to help the milk to be absorbed,cover and refrigerate for 30-60 minutes.
  • Set the baking dish inside a slightly larger pan.
  • Pour warm water into the larger pan about halfway up the sides of the bread pudding dish to make a "bain marie".
  • Bake the bread pudding for about an hour, or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.
  • For the Whiskey sauce:.
  • In a medium-size saucepan, heat the milk and the sugar until they almost come to a boil.
  • Pour a small amount of the milk and sugar mixture into the egg yolks, whisking all the while.
  • Gradually pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
  • Blend the cornstarch with 1/4 cup cold water.
  • Add to the saucepan.
  • Bring the custard to a boil, whisking constantly for several minutes until it thickens.
  • Remove from the heat.
  • Stir in vanilla extract and whiskey.
  • Strain through a fine-mesh sieve.
  • Pour over bread pudding as desired.
  • *Cook time does not reflect the refrigeration time*.
