Amazing Garlic Bread
Ingredients
- 3 -4 cloves garlic, whole ⓘ
- olive oil ⓘ
- 5 cloves garlic, minced ⓘ
- 3 -4 tablespoons butter, softened ⓘ
- 1 1/2 - 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano ⓘ
- 1 teaspoon dried basil ⓘ
- 1 tablespoon parsley flakes ⓘ
- salt, pepper,cayenne,to taste ⓘ
- parmesan cheese, grated (optional) ⓘ
- mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced or shredded (optional) ⓘ
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Take a piece of foil and place whole garlic cloves in it, coating with a generous amount of olive oil.
- Wrap tightly.
- Bake until done, 20 min to 1/2 hour.
- Cloves will be done when sweet smelling, soft and golden brown.
- Split bread lengthwise.
- Remove excess dough.
- Mash roasted garlic with all other ingredients except cheeses.
- Spread cut surfaces of bread with butter mixture.
- Sprinkle with parmesan and layer bottom half with mozzarella.
- Press halves together and wrap tightly in foil.
- Bake at 350 degrees until outer crust is crispy and cheese is melted, about 15 minutes.
- Let cool slightly and cut into thick vertical slices.
- I like it just as it is, crispy outside, moist and chewy (and slightly saturated!) inside, but you could bake this open faced on a cookie sheet for a crisper texture.
- If you do this, put mozzarella on both sides.
- You can make the garlic butter ahead of time and refrigerate it.
- It's also to die for melted over hot pasta!
