Kat’s Garlic Bread
- Some type of bread. Here I used Izzio’s Ciabatta
- A head of garlic cloves
- 1 stick salted butter, room temp
- 2 tsp dried basil
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- 2 tsp dried parsley
- pinch of red pepper flakes
- 1/4-1/3 cup of grated parmesan
- salt and pepper
- Preheat the oven to 400.
- Cut the top off the head of garlic. Place it on a piece of foil, drizzle with olive oil. Crumple up the foil and bake it directly in the oven on the rack for 30 minutes. Remove and let cool a bit once removed so you can handle the foil.
- Change oven temp now to 425 to preheat.
- Place the softened butter in a bowl. Add spices and parmesan. Squeeze in the garlic cloves. Mix until they are softened and incorporated into the mixture. Add salt and pepper to your liking – I just add a little.
- Cut the bread in half horizontally. Smear the butter mixture on the cut side of both halves.
- Place bread on a cookie sheet and put in the oven for 10-15 minutes, until browned.
- Cut and enjoy. 🙂
