GRILLED GARLIC BREAD
Steps:

Steps:
- Preheat a grill to medium-high heat (375 to 450 degrees).
- Brush each side of the bread lightly with olive oil. Place the slices on a baking sheet and sprinkle with 1 pinch of salt on top of each. Grill 1 to 2 minutes per side, until crispy and just starting to char on the edges.
- Remove from the heat. If desired, rub each slice with the cut side of the garlic and a bit of butter or additional olive oil (we rubbed on a small pat of butter between all the slices). Add another sprinkle of kosher salt if serving plain as garlic bread, and top with chopped herbs if desired.

Steps:
- Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Slice ciabatta in half lengthwise. Then cut each half into 1-inch slices. In batches as needed, grill the ciabatta slices, cut side down until they are golden and crisp, about 2 minutes. Working quickly, drizzle the toasted sides with extra-virgin olive oil. Rub the garlic cloves over the grilled bread, then rub the cut side of the tomatoes over the grilled bread. It's important to do this while the bread is still hot or warm, otherwise the garlic won't melt into the bread. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and serve warm.
GRILLED PORK WITH WHOLE SPICES AND GARLIC BREAD
Deeply flavored from a rub of fennel, coriander, caraway and cumin, and crisp-edged from the grill, this pork feeds a crowd, and most of the work can be done in advance. You can use either boneless loin or shoulder here: The shoulder is chewier, brawnier and more irregular in shape, while the loin is neater to slice and softer to eat. But both are delicious, especially when showered with fresh lemon or lime juice at the end to cut the richness. You don't have to make the buttery garlic bread, but its herbal flavors go well with the smoke and char of the meat. If you do skip it (your loss), serve the pork strewn with plenty of fresh, bright herbs. If you're not grilling, you can roast the pork in a 500-degree oven for 20 to 30 minutes, flipping it halfway. Then run it under the broiler at the end to sear the fat.

Steps:
- Prepare the pork: Using a mortar and pestle, pound together the thyme, salt, cumin, coriander, fennel, caraway, peppercorns and red-pepper flakes until the spices are well cracked but not ground. (Or do this in a spice grinder, but take care not to grind the spices.) Add garlic, oil and vinegar, and pound into a paste.
- Spread paste all over pork, covering the meat thoroughly and evenly. Place the meat on a rimmed baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap or an overturned rimmed baking sheet, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or up to 48 hours (the longer, the better).
- Prepare the butter for the garlic bread: In a small saucepan, melt the butter with the olive oil. Add the parsley, basil, garlic, salt, pepper, oregano, vinegar and red-pepper flakes, and simmer until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Taste and add more salt if needed. Set aside until ready to grill. If the butter solidifies, place it back on the heat until it liquefies.
- Heat the grill or light the coals. Lay the pork out on the grill so it is as flat as possible. Cover grill and let the meat cook until char marks appear on one side, 7 to 12 minutes. Use tongs and a large spatula to flip the meat. Continue to grill on the other side until cooked to taste, 135 degrees for medium, about 5 to 12 minutes longer. (It will continue to cook as it rests.)
- Transfer meat to a cutting board, cover loosely with foil and let rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
- While the pork is resting, grill the garlic bread: Place the halved loaves, cut side down, on the grill, and lightly toast on one side, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip bread and drizzle garlic butter over the toasted side. Let the unbuttered sides of the bread toast, another 1 to 2 minutes. Flip bread and grill once more on the buttered side for about 10 to 20 seconds to sear (take care not to let it burn). Transfer bread to a cutting board and slice into pieces.
- Carve pork into slices, and squeeze the lemon or lime wedges over the meat. Serve the pork slices garnished with red-pepper flakes and thyme leaves, with the garlic bread on the side.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°; grease an 8-inch skillet or square baking pan with about a tablespoon of olive oil.
- Put the flour, baking powder, and salt in a food processor and turn the machine on.
- Pour through the feed tube first 1/3 cup of the olive oil, then most of 1 cup of warm water.
- Process about 30 seconds, then remove the cover; the dough should be in a well-defined, barely sticky, easy-to-handle ball; if it is too dry, add the remaining water 1 tablespoon at a time and process for 5-10 seconds after each addition; if it is too wet, which is unlikely, add a tablespoon or two of flour and process briefly.
- Put the dough into the prepared pan and press until it fits to the edges.
- Flip it over and press again; cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes; then remove the foil; sprinkle the top with a little coarse salt, and bake for another 20-25 minutes, until the top is golden and springs back when touched gently.
- Cool in the pan a bit, then cut into wedges or squares and serve.

GRILLED GARLIC BREAD
A quick and easy, but delicious side for summer dinners. Hot, smoky garlic bread is equally friendly to a juicy steak, a whole fish or a Caprese salad. Any loaf that is not too thick can be used, but whole grain stands up better to the oil-garlic-fire treatment. You may doubt that using garlic cloves with the papery skins on will work, but the rough surface of the toasted bread rubs them right off.

Steps:
- Cut bread in half lengthwise, and cut in half crosswise if very long. Brush cut surfaces of bread lightly with olive oil. Under a broiler or on a grill, toast bread, turning a few times, until cut surfaces are golden brown. (If using a broiler, you can place bread directly on the oven rack.)
- Remove bread to a work surface, grab a garlic clove with your fingertips and rub it lightly over the cut surfaces of the bread. (The papery skin of the garlic will come off.) When the bread is well scented with garlic, brush again with olive oil and toast again. If using tomato, rub the cut surfaces against the bread so the bread absorbs the juice. Oil and toast bread one last time, until golden and charred. Sprinkle lightly with salt and serve immediately.

Tips:
- Use a high-quality olive oil for the best flavor.
- Make sure the garlic is minced or pressed finely, so it can evenly distribute its flavor.
- Use a heavy-duty grill pan or cast iron skillet to get a good sear on the bread.
- Don't overcrowd the pan or skillet. You want to give the bread enough space to cook evenly.
- Cook the bread until it is golden brown and crispy on both sides.
- Serve the bread immediately, while it is still warm and toasty.
- You can also add other toppings to the bread, such as fresh herbs, grated cheese, or crumbled bacon.
Conclusion:
Grilled bread with olive oil, garlic, and salt is a simple but delicious dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, side dish, or snack. It is a great way to use up leftover bread, and it is also a healthier alternative to fried bread.
