GARLIC BREAD
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.

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.

MOZZARELLA AND PARMESAN GARLIC BREAD
I made this bread last weekend to serve with homemade lasagna because garlic bread with cheese was $2.69 per loaf! I decided that was rather ridiculous and it's not that tasty, so I decided to make my own. This is what I came up with and it's very simple, but one of the best breads I've served. Add more or less garlic to suit your own tastes.

40-CLOVE GARLIC BREAD RECIPE BY TASTY
This easy-to-make, yet impressive garlic bread is hard not to love. In this recipe, forty cloves of garlic are drizzled with olive oil, salt and pepper, and roasted until they're soft and sweet. Then, mashed and mixed with softened butter and herbs. A sourdough bread boule is cross-hatched and then stuffed with mozzarella cheese, and lathered with our garlicky compound butter. Serve it up with some marinara sauce, or eat as is!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place a sheet of foil on a small baking sheet and line another baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut ½ inch off the tops of the garlic heads and place on the baking sheet with the foil. Drizzle the garlic with the olive oil and season with 1 teaspoon salt and the black pepper. Place the tops back on each garlic bulb. Bring up the corners of the foil around the garlic, then roll closed to form a tight packet. Place in the oven and roast until the garlic is caramelized, about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit for 30 minutes, until cool enough to handle. Leave the oven on.
- Unwrap the foil packet and squeeze the heads to release the roasted garlic cloves into a medium bowl. Mash with a fork until a thick paste forms (some chunks are okay).
- Add the butter, parsley, oregano, and remaining ½ teaspoon salt and stir to combine.
- Using a serrated knife, carefully cut the bread into 1-inch-thick (2.54 cm) slices, stopping ½ inch (1.24 cm) from the bottom of the loaf to keep intact. Turn the loaf 90° and repeat cutting in the opposite direction.
- Place the loaf on the parchment-lined baking sheet and stuff the mozzarella between the bread slices. Spread the roasted garlic butter over the entire loaf.
- Place the loaf into the oven and bake until the cheese is melted and the top of the loaf is golden brown and crispy, 25-30 minutes.
- Remove the loaf from the oven and transfer to a serving platter. Grate the Parmesan cheese directly over the top. Serve hot.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- Use a good quality bread. A crusty bread like a baguette or ciabatta will give you the best results.
- Use fresh garlic. Minced garlic from a jar will not give you the same flavor.
- Be generous with the garlic butter. The more garlic butter you use, the more flavorful your garlic bread will be.
- Toast the bread until it is golden brown and crispy. This will help to bring out the flavor of the garlic butter and cheese.
- Add some fresh herbs to your garlic bread for extra flavor. Parsley, basil, and oregano are all good choices.
- Serve your garlic bread immediately. It is best when it is hot and fresh out of the oven.
