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.

BEST CHEESY GARLIC BREAD

Ditch the frozen stuff and make this incredibly easy homemade garlic bread instead!

Provided by The Chunky Chef

Categories     Bread     Side Dish

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup salted butter, softened to room temperature ((1 stick))
1/4 cup grated/shredded Parmesan cheese ((freshly shredded/grated is best))
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3-4 cloves garlic, grated or very finely minced
1/2 tsp grated lemon zest ((optional but recommended))
1 tsp Italian seasoning blend
1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
pinch of kosher salt
1 loaf of artisan bread ((my personal favorites are sesame seed, Italian, or any other bread with a tight crumb to hold the butter))
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Set a baking sheet aside.
  • While oven is preheating, combine butter, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, garlic, lemon zest, Italian seasoning blend, cracked black pepper, and salt in a small mixing bowl. Mix together with a small rubber spatula or wooden spoon. Set aside.
  • Using a bread knife, slice bread into roughly 1 inch thick slices, not cutting all the way through, just down to about 1/2 inch from the bottom.
  • Spread an even coating of butter mixture on both sides of the bread slices. Be generous, and if there's any butter left over, refrigerate in an airtight container. Add shredded mozzarella cheese in between each slice of bread.
  • Wrap loaf of bread completely in aluminum foil (this will likely take two pieces, one on the bottom and one on the top). Place wrapped bread on baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes.
  • Open the top of the foil and bake another 5 minutes to let the top of the bread toast a little.
  • Serve hot and enjoy!

My mom used to make this when I was younger. Kids love the way it looks and that they can eat it with their hands.

Provided by Leanne

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 (16 ounce) cans refrigerated biscuits
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup margarine
1 cup of packed brown sugar

Steps:

  • Separate biscuits; cut each biscuit into 4 pieces.
  • Mix cinnamon and sugar in a bowl coat each piece of biscuit and pile into a bundt or tube pan.
  • Heat margarine and brown sugar until it is melted; pour over the biscuits.
  • Bake at 350°F for about 20 minutes.
  • When it has cooled, unmold onto plate.
  • Pull apart to eat.

Tips:

  • To make the garlic butter, use a food processor to combine the softened butter, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper until smooth. This will help to evenly distribute the flavors.
  • Use a serrated knife to cut the bread loaf in half horizontally. This will help to prevent the bread from tearing.
  • Spread the garlic butter evenly over the cut surfaces of the bread. You can use a spoon or a pastry brush to do this.
  • Wrap the bread loaf tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will help the garlic butter to soak into the bread.
  • When you are ready to bake the bread, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Unwrap the bread loaf and place it on a baking sheet.
  • Bake the bread for 15-20 minutes, or until the garlic butter is melted and bubbly and the bread is golden brown.
  • Let the bread cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
