WORLD'S BEST GARLIC BREAD



World's Best Garlic Bread image

This may be a little over the top to qualify as a garlic bread, but it is the best thing of this kind I've ever had. Use about 16 cloves of garlic if you want the Parmesan cheese to share equal billing with the garlic; twice that if you want the garlic to take the lead. Choose bread that is crusty and fairly dense without being doughy. Depending on the size and shape of your loaf, you may want to cut it a tad longer or shorter as described in the recipe; just be sure the butter coats the bread in an even layer without any bare spots or thick patches. it's okay if the ends of the thin onion slices turn black during baking.

GARLIC BREAD



Garlic Bread image

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.

Provided by Ali Slagle

Categories     dinner, weekday, breads, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup/8 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 stick), melted
4 fat garlic cloves, grated
1/2 cup Parmesan, grated
1/4 cup firmly packed chopped flat-leaf parsley
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Black pepper
1 baguette or rustic crusty loaf
1/2 pound fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced (optional)

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of your garlic bread.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of bread. You can use a baguette, a loaf of sourdough, or even a ciabatta roll.
  • Be generous with the garlic butter. This is what gives garlic bread its signature flavor, so don't be shy about it.
  • Toast the bread until it's golden brown and crispy. This will help to bring out the flavor of the garlic butter and make the bread more enjoyable to eat.
  • Serve garlic bread immediately after it's toasted. This is when it's at its best.

Conclusion:

With so many different recipes to choose from, you're sure to find a garlic bread recipe that you love. Just remember to use fresh, high-quality ingredients, be generous with the garlic butter, and toast the bread until it's golden brown and crispy. With a little effort, you can make a restaurant-quality garlic bread that will impress your family and friends.
