How to make Garlic Bread
- Let's start making the garlic butter. For this we’ll take our whole garlic heads and chop them from the top so that all the cloves inside are visible.
- Place the cut garlic heads on a piece of aluminum foil and season them generously with salt and pepper.
- Now drizzle olive oil over the garlic head generously making sure that the oil seeps into the garlic cloves inside.
- Once done, wrap the garlic head in aluminum foil and place in a preheated oven at 160 C’ degree for 35-40 minutes.
- While the garlic is cooking, slice the baguette in half.
- Once the garlic is done, let it cool and squeeze out into a bowl with room temperature butter. 1 full garlic head is enough for 100 gms of butter.
- Mix the garlic and butter together and add pepper to them.
- Now smother the garlic butter generously on the bread and place into a preheated oven at 180 C’ for 10-12 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and the butter is fully melted.
- Remove from the oven and garnish the bread with finely chopped parsley and cut into 1 inch sticks and serve.

Expert Tips
- Use big garlic heads and cook them until they are brown and soft to get the best result.
- Use a good quality olive oil to get the best flavors.
- We recommend using bread with a good crust to get a nice and crispy final product.
- You can even add cheese to get a more decadent garlic bread but remember to put more garlic in the butter mixture to balance it with the addition of the cheese.
