Garlic Bread
Serves 8
30 minutes or fewer
Pop this fragrant favorite into the oven when you uncover the lasagna, and everything will be ready at the same time.
- 1 baguette, halved lengthwise
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 6 cloves garlic, minced (2 Tbs.)
- 2 Tbs. finely chopped fresh parsley
- ⅛ tsp. salt
1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Lay baguette, cut-sides up, on sheet of aluminum foil several inches longer than bread.
2. Heat olive oil in small saucepan on low heat. Add garlic, and cook 1 to 2 minutes, or until light golden. Stir in parsley and salt, and remove from heat.
3. Brush garlic mixture on both halves of bread with pastry brush. Press baguette halves back together, and wrap with foil. Bake 15 to 20 minutes, or until warm and fragrant. Cut crosswise with serrated knife into 8 thick pieces. Serve hot.

We love this recipe! When we make garlic bread it is this garlic bread! One of those silicone basting brushes makes it easy to pick up the pieces of garlic when spreading from the skillet. Baguette is too puny a bread, this recipe needs something like a fat Ciabatta or individual rolls.
