THE BEST GARLIC BREAD
We went very classic with this garlic bread recipe-lots of butter and lots of garlic loaded onto warm, soft and pillowy French bread. You could make a light meal by rounding it out with a crisp green salad. Or serve it our favorite way-alongside your favorite red-sauce pasta.

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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and let cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the parsley and season with salt and pepper. Brush each slice of the bread with the melted garlic butter. Wrap the loaf of bread in foil and bake in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until heated through.
PERFECT GARLIC BREAD FROM SCRATCH
you can do this with pre-made french bread if you're short on time but i really think it's worth it to do this from start to finish on a lazy afternoon. goes beautifully with pasta or a nice light cream soup. i use my own homemade butter for this (possibly because i'm crazy). if you want to do that it's really easy: just take whipping cream at room temp, whip it way past the point of whipping cream and you'll see the fat separate from the milk. squeeze the newborn butter to the side of the bowl and pour off the milk (keep that, it's perfectly good), rinse the butter under cold water three or four times, breaking it up to wash out the extra milk, then mix in a little salt. you can easily double or triple this but it may or may not freeze well. the dough and butter would probably freeze better separately.

Steps:
- mix the yeast and sugar in a measuring cup, that keeps it from getting lumpy, add the cup of warm water and stir together. let sit for 5 minute.
- mix 2 cups flour and salt in a med sized bowl, then dump in yeast mix and stir until a soft dough forms.
- kneed until dough is smooth and elastic, adding more flour if needed. don't add so much flour that it becomes dry, it should still be slightly sticky.
- rinse out the bowl and swirl the oil around in it, put the dough back in and turn it over so it's coated.
- cover the bowl (i like to wrap a tea towel over and under it), and place in a warm (not hot!) oven to rise. i usually turn my oven on to the lowest setting that will turn on the element for 5 min and then turn off.
- once the dough has doubled in size, punch it down and form into a long, thin loaf. place on a cookie sheet that you've oiled and sprinkled with cornmeal. slash diagonally with a sharp knife 3 or 4 times. place it back in your warm oven until it's doubled again.
- turn the oven up to 375f for 20 minutes. my oven runs a little cool so i turn it up to closer to 380 or 390. a little too warm is better then a little to cool in this case. after 20 min it should be nicely golden on top. let it cool until no more then warm.
- in the mean time mix all ingredients of the garlic butter.
- slice vertically into 3/4-1 inch slices, leaving the bottom crust intact. carefully pull slices apart so you can spread the butter on each side of each slice without breaking them apart.
- wrap loosely but completely in foil and bake at 400f for 10-15 minutes. serve immediately.

Tips:
- Choose the right bread: A good loaf of bread for garlic bread is one that is slightly firm and has a good crust. Avoid using soft or fluffy bread, as it will not hold up well to the garlic butter and will become soggy.
- Make sure the garlic butter is flavorful: The garlic butter is the star of the show, so make sure it is packed with flavor. Use a good quality butter and plenty of garlic. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste, such as parsley, rosemary, or chili flakes.
- Spread the garlic butter evenly: When spreading the garlic butter on the bread, make sure to do it evenly so that every bite is packed with flavor. You can use a brush or your fingers to spread the butter.
- Bake the garlic bread until golden brown: The garlic bread is done baking when it is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep an eye on the bread so that it does not burn.
- Serve the garlic bread warm: Garlic bread is best served warm out of the oven. You can also toast it lightly before serving.
