Pan Toasted Garlic Bread Recipes

ROASTED GARLIC BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Cut top from each head of garlic, exposing the cloves. Place heads of garlic (cut side up), on a piece of heavy duty aluminum foil. Pour olive oil over them, and top with thyme springs. Season with salt and pepper. Wrap the foil tightly. Place in a small ovenproof pan, and bake until the cloves begin to pop out, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and cool.
• To remove the cloves, open the foil and squeeze the lower part of the head of garlic. In a small bowl, mash the cloves to form a paste. (At this point the paste can be used or stored in the refrigerator or freezer.)
• Add butter and chopped thyme to the bowl, stirring to combine. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Toast both sides of the bread, using a hot grill, grill pan, or broiler. Spread the roasted garlic butter paste onto the toasted bread. 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.

PAN-FRIED GARLIC BREAD

Steps:

• Brush the inside of a heavy pan with olive oil and place over medium-low heat.
• Cut the loaf in half lengthwise, then again crossways into 3 or 4 inch pieces.
• Rub the cut surfaces with the garlic and brush with oil.
• Arrange as many pieces as will fit in the pan, weighing them down with a bacon press.
• Cook about 5 minutes until underside of bread is browned.
• Turn bread and repeat cooking process for another 5 minutes.
• Repeat until all slices are browned.
• Keep warm in the oven on low heat.
