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.

Categories     Breads

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 stick (115 grams) salted butter, at room temperature
2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
¼ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 16-inch (40.64-centimeter) loaf French Bread

Steps:

  • Combine the butter, garlic, olive oil, salt, and dried parsley. Put all of the ingredients into a bowl, then mix them together until they are evenly combined. If you own a food processor, you can use that instead.
  • Slice the bread into 1-inch (2.54-centimeter) thick slices. If you cannot find a loaf of bread that is exactly 16 inches (40.64-centimeters), you can use a different one. This recipe will make enough butter for 16 slices of bread; you may have some butter left over, or you may have to make more.
  • Spread ½ tablespoon (7.5 grams) of the garlic butter onto each slice. Scoop the butter onto the bread slices first, then spread it around with a butter knife. Only butter one side of each slice of bread.
  • Place the slices onto a baking sheet, then freeze them for 15 minutes. This will give the butter time to solidify, and prevent it from sticking in the next step.
  • Place the slices into freezer bags. You can fit two slices into one quart-sized (liter-sized) freezer bag. Do not cram the slices into the bags. They should not stick, but if you are worried about it happening, you could put a sheet of parchment paper, freezer paper, or wax paper between them.
  • Date the bags, store them in them in the freezer, and eat the bread within 3 months. To heat the garlic bread, preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C). Take the bread out of the bags, then put it onto a baking sheet. Bake the bread for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges turn a golden brown color.

GARLIC BUTTER FOR FREEZER GARLIC BREAD (OAMC)



Garlic Butter for Freezer Garlic Bread (Oamc) image

I tried to find a recipe on here for garlic butter to make mini garlic bread loaves for OAMC. I was surprised at how few recipes there were to choose from. This is the recipe I wound up creating. I spread this liberally onto both cut sides of 6" Italian bread rolls that I cut in half lengthwise like a submarine sandwich. Then tightly wrap each roll in aluminum foil (have to use that new Reynold's recycled foil!) and put inside a 2 gallon freezer Zip-loc bag. I keep reusing the bag to refill it with new rolls.

Time 10m

Yield 16 1/2 oz servings, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 tablespoon garlic, minced from a jar, water packed (I used a tbsp)
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon italian seasoning (I used a tbsp)
2 teaspoons pepper, freshly cracked and ground (I did about 50 cranks on the pepper mill which is about 3 tsp or 1 tbsp)
1 cup salted butter, softened (2 sticks)

Steps:

  • Put the softened butter into a bowl.
  • Add the pepper in a little pile on top of the butter.
  • Brown the minced garlic in a non-stick skillet on low heat until the water evaporates.
  • Add a drizzle of EVOO and stir to combine.
  • Continue to cook until the garlic begins to turn light brown.
  • Add the Italian seasoning and another drizzle of EVOO.
  • Stir to combine.
  • Leave on heat until the seasonings feel like they have softened under your spatula.
  • Scrape the garlic mixture into the butter bowl on top of the pile of pepper (yes, while it's hot, it will melt a little of the butter to better blend the flavors).
  • Wait about 10 min for the garlic/seasoning to cool a little then mix everything together.
  • If using to make garlic bread spread liberally onto the cut sides of the bread and put two spread sides together facing each other. Wrap in foil and either freeze in a Zip-loc bag or bake at 350 degrees for about 6 minutes. If baking off the bread from the freezer allow the bread to defrost first.

GARLIC BUTTER



Garlic Butter image

Sometimes the basics are the best! I've used this simple recipe for years to make garlic bread, and any leftovers go great on barbequed steaks, pasta, rice or potatoes. You can use any butter or margarine you like. Also, fresh or minced garlic in a jar works well. Adjust the amount of garlic to your taste.
