ULTIMATE GARLIC BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Slice the loaf in half lengthwise.
• In a small bowl, mix the roasted garlic, butter, herbs, parmesan cheese, salt and pepper then set aside
• Take a spoon and spread the garlic mixture over the inside of each loaf. Seal the loaf together and wrap with aluminum foil. Place the wrapped bread on a baking sheet.
• Bake it in the oven for15 minutes until the garlic herb flavors are fully absorbed into the bread.
• At this point remove it from the oven and wait a few minutes for the foil to cool down before removing it.

PERFECT GARLIC BREAD FROM SCRATCH

Steps:

• mix the yeast and sugar in a measuring cup, that keeps it from getting lumpy, add the cup of warm water and stir together. let sit for 5 minute.
• mix 2 cups flour and salt in a med sized bowl, then dump in yeast mix and stir until a soft dough forms.
• kneed until dough is smooth and elastic, adding more flour if needed. don't add so much flour that it becomes dry, it should still be slightly sticky.
• rinse out the bowl and swirl the oil around in it, put the dough back in and turn it over so it's coated.
• cover the bowl (i like to wrap a tea towel over and under it), and place in a warm (not hot!) oven to rise. i usually turn my oven on to the lowest setting that will turn on the element for 5 min and then turn off.
• once the dough has doubled in size, punch it down and form into a long, thin loaf. place on a cookie sheet that you've oiled and sprinkled with cornmeal. slash diagonally with a sharp knife 3 or 4 times. place it back in your warm oven until it's doubled again.
• turn the oven up to 375f for 20 minutes. my oven runs a little cool so i turn it up to closer to 380 or 390. a little too warm is better then a little to cool in this case. after 20 min it should be nicely golden on top. let it cool until no more then warm.
• in the mean time mix all ingredients of the garlic butter.
• slice vertically into 3/4-1 inch slices, leaving the bottom crust intact. carefully pull slices apart so you can spread the butter on each side of each slice without breaking them apart.
• wrap loosely but completely in foil and bake at 400f for 10-15 minutes. serve immediately.

THE BEST GARLIC BREAD

Steps:

• Arrange a rack in the center of oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
• Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter is golden and the garlic is very fragrant, about 3 minutes.
• Slice the bread in half lengthwise. Liberally brush the crust with the garlic butter. Turn the bread cut-side up. Slice each loaf crosswise at 2-inch intervals without cutting all the way through, making "pull-apart" garlic bread. Liberally brush the cut sides of the bread with more garlic butter, spreading any remaining garlic evenly over top. You should use all the garlic butter. Carefully transfer the bread to a rimmed baking sheet.
• Sprinkle the loaves with the Parmesan and a pinch of salt and bake until the edges of the bread are a deep golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Top with the parsley. Serve warm.
