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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. Fresh garlic and parsley will give your bread the best flavor.
  • Don't over-knead the dough. Over-kneading will make the bread tough.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place. This will help it to rise properly and give you a light and fluffy loaf of bread.
  • Brush the bread with melted butter before baking. This will help to give it a golden brown crust.
  • Bake the bread until it is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped. This will ensure that it is cooked through.

Conclusion:

Garlic parsley french bread is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for any occasion. It can be served as an appetizer, side dish, or main course. The combination of garlic, parsley, and butter gives it a unique and flavorful taste that is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make bread, give garlic parsley french bread a try. You won't be disappointed!
