THE BEST GARLIC BREAD



The Best Garlic Bread image

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.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     side-dish

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

Sometimes the basics are the best! I've used this simple recipe for years to make garlic bread, and any leftovers go great on barbequed steaks, pasta, rice or potatoes. You can use any butter or margarine you like. Also, fresh or minced garlic in a jar works well. Adjust the amount of garlic to your taste.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality butter: The better the butter, the better the garlic butter will taste. Look for butter that is made from fresh cream and has a high fat content (82% or higher).
  • Use fresh garlic: Fresh garlic has a more intense flavor than dried garlic. If you don't have fresh garlic on hand, you can use ½ teaspoon of garlic powder.
  • Roast the garlic before using it: Roasting the garlic mellows its flavor and makes it sweeter. To roast garlic, cut off the top of the garlic head and drizzle it with olive oil. Wrap the garlic head in foil and bake it at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the garlic is soft and golden brown.
  • Use a variety of herbs and spices: In addition to garlic, you can add other herbs and spices to your garlic butter, such as parsley, chives, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Experiment with different combinations to find your favorite flavor profile.
  • Use garlic butter on a variety of foods: Garlic butter can be used on a variety of foods, including bread, vegetables, pasta, chicken, fish, and steak. It can also be used as a dipping sauce or spread.

Conclusion:

Garlic butter is a versatile and delicious condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. Whether you are using it on bread, vegetables, pasta, or meat, garlic butter is sure to please everyone at your table.
