Garlic Bread

Follow these tips for perfect garlic bread. Preheat the over to 350 degrees.

1. Buy fresh bread. I purchased Pane Siciliano at Union Market. Use something thicker rather than thin like a baguette.

2. Crush several cloves of garlic.

3. Melt about 3/4 a stick of butter (for a full roll of bread).

4. Mix the butter with the crushed garlic and some parsley.

5. Slice the bread without letting the knife cut through fully. Brush the butter mixture on both sides of each piece. Any excess can be brushed on top of the roll.

6. Cover the bread loosely in aluminum foil and bake on a cookie sheet for at least 30 minutes (more to get it crunchier). Let it sit a few minutes before serving. mm.
