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.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality bread: A crusty bread like a baguette or sourdough will give the best results.
  • Use fresh garlic: Fresh garlic has a much stronger flavor than garlic powder or garlic salt.
  • Roast the garlic before using it: Roasting the garlic mellows its flavor and makes it easier to spread.
  • Use a generous amount of butter: Butter helps the garlic bread to brown and gives it a rich flavor.
  • Season the garlic bread with salt and pepper: This will help to enhance the flavor of the garlic and butter.
  • Broil the garlic bread until it is golden brown: This will give the bread a crispy crust and a melted, gooey center.

Conclusion:

This easy crisp garlic bread recipe is the perfect side dish for any Italian meal. It is also a great snack or appetizer. The bread is crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside, with a garlicky flavor that is sure to please everyone.
