NEED EASY GARLIC BREAD RECIPE!

Anyone have an easy garlic bread recipe to share?

I like to brown it in the oven, and then broil for a few min.

Please share!

@shoppinggirl12 This is what I make if I don't want to be bothered with the garlic.

I spread a mix of butter and olive oil, and sprinkle with a mix of salt/pepper, and garlic powder on whatever bread you choose. Put it in the toaster oven until crispy.

I cut the slices the width of your small finger. On a bake sheet, I brown the first side under the broiler, then turn and put two to three extremely thin pats of butter and sprinkle with granulated garlic. Broil aboit 1 to 2 1/2 minutes to preferred browness.

(Always leave the door open so the broiler will continue to grill. Closed ovens reach the temperature and the element goes off.).

Wow, I'm not so fancy as some of you.

I take a french loaf of bread, drizzle with olive oil, then spread butter and then sprinkle garlic powder over it. If you want more garlic, use some granulated garlic (Penzey sells it) along with the garlic powder.

The bread makes a big difference too. Basic flour and water bread that crumbles does not make good garlic bread.

@Mistreatedbycs Right re the bread. I also use an Acme baguette or Italian, so it is nice and crispy, crunchy, the baguette being more crispy, the Italian having much more of a center, so soft and crispy.

@deepwaterdotter

In addition to your recipe, I usually sprinkle a little dried oregano on it as well.

@shoppinggirl12 I have two different recipes I use. One is for a garlic toast and the other garlic breadsticks.

Garlic Toast

1 1-lb loaf French bread

2 1/2 sticks butter

2 1/2 tsp. garlic juice

garlic salt to taste

Melt butter. Add garlic juice. Places stices of bread on a foil-lined cookie sheet. Brush with butter mixture. Sprinkle lightly with garlic salt. Turn bread over and repeat. Preheat broiler to 350 degrees. Place cookie sheet on center rack. Watch carefully. When golden brown turn and toast the other side. Makes about 40 - 50 slikes.

Be sure to generously coat each slice. Any part not covered with butter will tend to burn easily.

Half the recipe is just right for one cookie sheet.

Garlic Breadsticks

1 stick butter

Garlic powder

1 package thin breadsticks

Preheat over to 250 degrees.

Melt butter in 9 x 13 pan. Sprinkle with garlic powder. Soak breadsticks in butter and garlic powder mixture for 1 hour. Turn breadsticks every 15 minutes. Cool in pan.

I mix softened butter and squished garlic - put through the press. Brush it on the bread and sprinkle some parmesan cheese over it and pop it in the oven til the bread starts to get a little toasty.

You can brown the bread under the broiler or toaster oven, then take a clove of garlic and rub it over the toasted top and spread with butter. You can add/rub as much garlic as you like. I would then top with parmesan cheese and broil/toast to brown/melt the cheese.

Or you can just buy the ready made French bread or Texas toast. I tend to stick to ready made when I pick up pasta ingredients. Now I want spaghetti with garlic bread! My grocer also has some in the bakery with spread on them ready to bake.

Butter bread and drizzle garlic/olive oil and broil.

"Roasting garlic changes the chemical makeup of garlic so that it’s easier to digest. You can eat a lot more garlic if it is completely cooked, with fewer side effects than you would get from eating raw garlic. (If you’re into chemistry, you can read more about this process in the Wikipedia.

Instead of raw garlic, I like roasted garlic. Here's the method to roast a whole bulb of garlic:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (205° C). (A toaster oven works great for this.)

2. Peel and discard the papery outer layers of the whole garlic bulb, leaving intact the skins of the individual cloves of garlic. Using a sharp knife, cut 1/4 to a 1/2 inch from the top of cloves, exposing the individual cloves of garlic.

3 Place the garlic heads in a baking pan, cut side up. (A muffin pan works great for this, as it keeps the garlic bulbs from rolling around.) Drizzle a couple teaspoons of olive oil over each exposed head, using your fingers to rub the olive oil over all the cut, exposed garlic cloves. Cover the bulb with aluminum foil. Bake at 400°F (205°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until the cloves feel soft when pressed.

4 Allow the garlic to cool enough so you can touch it without burning yourself. Use a small small knife cut the skin slightly around each clove. Use a cocktail fork or your fingers to pull or squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins.

Eat as is or mash with a fork and use for cooking. Can be spread over warm French bread, mixed with sour cream for a topping for baked potatoes, or mixed in with Parmesan and pasta.

Eat the caramelized roasted cloves directly out of the heads, or add them to pasta dishes, mash them up and spread them over toast, or mix them with sour cream for a dip.

If you are sensitive to raw garlic, you may find that you can much more easily eat roasted garlic."
