HOMEMADE CIABATTA GARLIC BREAD RECIPE
Easy garlic bread recipe with my no-fail technique for getting a perfectly crunchy outside and chewy inside! This lighter garlic bread uses olive oil instead of butter, and loads of herbs for bold flavor. I use a 1-pound ciabatta loaf, but any rustic Italian bread or French baguette would work well. For vegan garlic bread, omit the cheese or substitute it with nutritional yeast.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Add the garlic, rosemary, oregano, and parsley to a small food processor and blend. Drizzle in the olive oil from the top opening of the food processor while everything is blending. Season with kosher salt and black pepper.
- Place the bread flat on a cutting board. Place your non-dominant hand on top of the bread. Take a knife and slice the bread in half horizontally.
- Spoon the herb and garlic oil equally onto both halves of the bread and spread it all over. Put the bread halves back together.
- Line a large sheet pan with foil. Place the bread flat on the pan and cover with another piece of foil. Crimp the foil sides to close tightly.
- Bake the foil-wrapped bread on the center rack of the heated oven for 10 minutes.
- Remove the bread from the oven and uncover it. Separate the two halves of bread and place them side by side on the sheet pan.
- Sprinkle grated parmesan onto the bread.
- Return the sheet pan with the bread to the oven for another 10 minutes, until the bread crisps with golden edges and some of the cheese is slightly golden.
- Cut into 1-inch slices and serve immediately.

Tips for Making Mediterranean Herbed Bread:
- Use fresh herbs. This will give your bread the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount called for in the recipe.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will result in a tough, dense bread. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place. This will help the dough to rise properly and give you a light and airy bread.
- Bake the bread until it is golden brown. This will ensure that the bread is cooked through and has a crispy crust.
- Let the bread cool before slicing. This will help the bread to hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.
Conclusion:
Mediterranean herbed bread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed on its own or with a variety of toppings. It is perfect for sandwiches, salads, or as an appetizer. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this bread is a great recipe for beginners and experienced bakers alike.
