Garlic Bread

Cultural Context

Garlic bread has roots in Mediterranean cuisine, often enjoyed as a side dish or appetizer. It is particularly popular in Italian-American dining, where it complements pasta dishes. Today, variations abound globally, with different herbs and cheeses enhancing the classic recipe.

SYSYside
6 servings
Servings4
3/4 cup unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon dried parsley
14-ounce loaf French bread
1

Turn on low heat on a small saucepan.

2

Add 3/4 cup unsalted butter to the pan to melt.

3

Break off 4 cloves of garlic and peel them.

4

Chop the garlic finely with a knife or use a garlic press.

5

Once the butter has melted, add the chopped garlic to the butter and turn off the heat.

6

Let the garlic steep in the butter for about 3 minutes.

7

Split the 14-ounce loaf of French bread in half lengthwise using a bread knife.

8

Place the bread on a rimmed baking sheet.

9

Add 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1 tablespoon of dried parsley to the garlic butter and stir with a pastry brush.

10

Brush the garlic butter mixture generously on top of the bread halves, ensuring to include the garlic chunks.

11

Bake the bread in a 400 degree oven for about 15 minutes.

12

Check the bread; if it needs more browning, switch the oven to broil for 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.

13

Once cool enough to handle, transfer the bread to a cutting board and slice it up.

14

Serve warm, or freeze the other half for later use.
