Time 30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 large soft Italian or French loaf
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley leaves, finely chopped

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.

GARLIC BUTTER



Garlic butter image

Rustle up some garlic butter to make garlic bread, slather on pizza bases or serve with dough balls. You can add parsley, if you like

Provided by Anna Glover

Categories     Condiment

Time 5m

Yield Makes 100g

Number Of Ingredients 3

100g butter , softened
1 garlic clove , crushed
2 tsp finely chopped parsley (optional)

Steps:

  • Stir the butter, garlic and parsley, if using, together in a small bowl. Season with a little salt (only if using unsalted butter) and black pepper. If the butter is too cold to mix, warm the ingredients in a small pan until melted and combined, then leave to cool. Will keep for up to one week in the fridge.

Nutrition Facts : Calories 36 calories, Fat 4 grams fat, SaturatedFat 2 grams saturated fat, Sodium 0.1 milligram of sodium

Tips:

  • Choose the right ingredients: Use high-quality butter and bread flour for the best results. Bread flour has a higher protein content than all-purpose flour, which will help the bread rise and give it a chewier texture.
  • Make sure the butter is cold: The butter should be cold when you add it to the flour mixture. This will help prevent the butter from melting and making the dough greasy.
  • Work the dough gently: Do not overmix the dough, as this will make the bread tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together, then stop.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: The dough should rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This usually takes about 1-2 hours.
  • Bake the bread at a high temperature: The bread should be baked at a high temperature (400°F or higher) for the first 10-15 minutes. This will help the bread rise and brown evenly.
  • Let the bread cool before slicing: Let the bread cool completely before slicing it. This will help prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Homemade butter bread is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a loaf of fresh, homemade bread that is sure to impress your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying bread to serve at your next meal, give homemade butter bread a try. You won't be disappointed.
