French Baguette Garlic Bread Recipes

GARLIC BREAD FANTASTIQUE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to broil.
• In a medium bowl combine butter, mayonnaise, sage, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper. Spread mixture evenly on bread and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
• Place bread under broil for 5 minutes, or until lightly toasted.

GARLIC BREAD

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees. In a small bowl, stir together the butter, garlic, Parmesan and parsley. Add the salt and generously season with pepper. Set aside while you cut the baguette.
• Cut deep slits into the baguette, 1-inch apart - don't cut all the way through the loaf - and place the baguette on a large piece of foil. Using a teaspoon or an offset spatula, generously spread the seasoned butter inside each slit. Make sure to reach the bottom of the slit; don't be shy here.
• Wrap the baguette in the foil, place on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the baguette from the oven and unwrap the top (leave the bread on the foil). If you're adding mozzarella, use the offset spatula or spoon to gently open each slit and tuck a piece of mozzarella in (it's O.K. if the cheese pops out from the top a little). Return bread to the oven and bake until crisp and golden on top, another 5 minutes. Slice with a serrated knife (or tear with your hands) and serve at once.

BAGUETTE GARLIC BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Slice baguette's (or French Bread) into 1/2" slices. (Cut on the diagonal).
• Heat olive oil in small skillet or pan. (Don't get smoking hot or it will burn the garlic.).
• Add the finely minced garlic cloves and cook very quickly. Not over 20 or 30 seconds, watching closely so you don't burn. (I strained out the garlic but Ina Garten didn't when she made her garlic bread).
• Brush baguette slices with the olive oil and put on a baking sheet.
• Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
• Bake in oven for 8 - 12 minutes or just until they are lightly browned.
• To freeze: Prepare up to the point of brushing the bread with the garlic oil. Place on a baking sheet, put in freezer and freeze until firm. Remove from freezer, wrap well in plastic wrap and then foil. Label and return to freezer.
• To serve: Unwrap and place on baking sheet. Proceed with directions and bake at 375 degrees for 12 minutes or until hot through.
• NOTE: I used the smaller portions given for my baguettes but you may need more if using a loaf of French Bread.

CRUSTY GARLIC BREAD

Steps:

• Put the butter in a bowl, add the garlic and mix well. Spoon the butter out onto a sheet of cling film and roll up to make a sausage-shaped log. Chill for 10 mins.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Slice the baguette into about 12 slices but not all the way through, leaving the base intact to hold it together.
• Remove the cling film from the butter and thinly slice on a chopping board. Press each butter slice between the slices of bread.
• Wrap the baguette in foil, place on a tray and bake for 5-6 mins, then peel back the foil. Cook for a further 4-5 mins to crisp up.
