Best 6 Stacis Cheesy Roasted Garlic Crack Bread Recipes

CHEESY ROASTED GARLIC BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cut off the top third of the head of garlic, exposing the tops of the garlic cloves. Put the garlic on a piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the oil. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper and add the thyme sprigs. Wrap tightly with foil and roast until the cloves are golden brown and very soft, about 45 minutes.
• Unwrap the garlic and let stand until cool enough to handle. Pour any garlic-flavored oil from the foil pouch into a small bowl; squeeze the roasted cloves into the same bowl, discarding the papery shells. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, the chopped thyme and an additional 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper and mash with a fork until smooth.
• Lay the bottom half of the bread on a piece of aluminum foil that is long enough to wrap the bread. Spread on half of the roasted garlic mixture and top with half of the Parmesan. Repeat with the remaining bread, garlic mixture and Parmesan. Press the halves together so the fillings are on the inside and wrap with the foil.
• Bake until the bread is toasted and the cheese is melted, about 15 minutes. Separate the halves, sprinkle with chopped parsley and cut into 6 pieces.

• Combine the melted butter, garlic, salt, parsley, rosemary, and thyme in a small bowl.
• With a serrated bread knife, cut the bread on a diagonal into 1-inch diamonds, being careful not to slice all the way through. Use your fingers to pry open each crack and drizzle with 1 teaspoon of butter and a pinch of the shredded cheese. Don't worry if you make a bit of a mess.
• Wrap the entire loaf in foil. To make ahead, place the foil wrapped bread in the fridge overnight or in the freezer for a month, thawing before baking. Place on a rimmed baking sheet, and bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese has mostly melted. Carefully remove the foil and continue to bake for another 5 minutes, or until crusty. Serve immediately.

STACI'S CHEESY ROASTED-GARLIC CRACK BREAD

Steps:

• 1. Ingredients: 1 loaf hearty-crusty bread, I used Italian 2 ½ sticks salted butter Large head of Elephant Garlic Olive oil to drizzle over garlic for roasting Cavender's Greek Seasoning Sea Salt or Pink Himalayan Salt Red Pepper Flakes Mozzarella Cheese - full fat 1 ½ - 2 cups Parmesan Cheese - the good stuff. Shreds work great. About ¾ - 1 cup.
• 2. Preheat your oven to 400. Cut and peel the entire head of garlic, and place in a cover-able dish. Sprinkle with some salt. Drizzle olive oil over garlic and toss lightly. Cover and roast for about 30 - 40 minutes. The garlic will caramelize, you WANT this !
• 3. While your garlic is roasting, cross hatch your bread all the way to the bottom, but not all the way through. Place on a sheet of tin foil that is large enough you will be able to seal the whole loaf to bake. Melt your butter and set aside. You can actually just let it sit out and get really soft instead of melting, as you will be mixing it with the spices and garlic and a spread can be easier to deal with than painting with something melted.
• 4. When the garlic is done, ( and you do not have to use it all for the recipe!! You can save some and use for bruschetta another day, it keeps in the fridge for at least a week ), you are going to mix the Greek seasoning, butter, ½ the Parmesan cheese, salt and red pepper flakes to taste, until well combined. Then start spreading or painting both sides of all your cross-hatched bread. Once you've done that, start stuffing all the cross-hatches with Mozzarella, and top with Parmesan. Drizzle/paint a little mixture over the top, seal up the bread as tightly as you can without compromising the cheese getting stuck to the tinfoil.
• 5. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Open the tinfoil, sprinkle on a little more Parmesan cheese, and bake exposed for about 5-10 minutes, or until the bread is browned to your liking and the cheese is melty ooey-gooey !!!!!!!!!! Pull from the oven, and Mangia !!!!

ROASTED GARLIC BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Cut top from each head of garlic, exposing the cloves. Place heads of garlic (cut side up), on a piece of heavy duty aluminum foil. Pour olive oil over them, and top with thyme springs. Season with salt and pepper. Wrap the foil tightly. Place in a small ovenproof pan, and bake until the cloves begin to pop out, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and cool.
• To remove the cloves, open the foil and squeeze the lower part of the head of garlic. In a small bowl, mash the cloves to form a paste. (At this point the paste can be used or stored in the refrigerator or freezer.)
• Add butter and chopped thyme to the bowl, stirring to combine. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Toast both sides of the bread, using a hot grill, grill pan, or broiler. Spread the roasted garlic butter paste onto the toasted bread. Serve immediately.
