Garlic Bread

This recipe gives an excellent garlic topping to many breads. I usually use either a crusty bagette or homemade pizza dough, cooked over a pizza stone. I have also done it with chibatta. It should work out OK with whichever bread you prefer. If you are baking "pizza" style bread, use a pizza stone to stop the bread becoming too soggy.

Ingredients

  • Two bagettes (or bread of your choice)
  • Around 25g of butter
  • 3 cloves of garlic
  • Chedder cheese
  • Basil
  • Sage
  • Parsley
  • Method

    1. Place the butter in a bowl. Finely chop the garlic and mix into the butter.

    2. Cut the bread length ways and spread on the butter. This should be a generous covering

    3. Slice the cheese and place on the bread. If you are using dried herbs, sprincle a generous helping over the cheese.

    4. Bake in an oven, on a baking tray at around 180°C for around 5 to 10 minutes until the cheese has melted and started to brown.

    5. Allow to cool slightly before servicing. If you are using fresh herbs, add them before serving.

    Notes

  • Garlic and cheese can be adjusted, according to taste
