Serves: 4 baguette halves
Ingredients
  • 1 garlic head
  • 2 sticks of butter, softened
  • ¼ cup parmesan cheese, grated
  • ¼ teaspoon salt and ground black pepper, each
  • 2 baguettes (about 20 inches long)
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Wrap the garlic head in aluminum foil. Roast for 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the garlic head. When you press the garlic head with your fingers, it should yield gently. You'll be able to feel it right through the aluminum foil.
  3. Another way of roasting garlic is to break the head into cloves and roast in a nonstick skillet, with the skin still on, on medium heat, turning the garlic when it turns golden on each side.
  4. Cool slightly. Peel the garlic and press it though a garlic press. You can also mince it with a knife or mash it with a fork.
  5. Combine the softened butter, garlic, parmesan cheese, salt and pepper in a bowl, mashing with a fork to combine.
  6. Slice the baguette down the middle. Spread the roasted garlic butter on the bread.
  7. Place on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, just until the garlic bread is golden. Slice into pieces.
  8. Another version of garlic bread that is a little bit quicker is to slice the baguette into ½ inch slices. If you like the bread to be thicker, by all means, cut it as thick as you like.
  9. Spread the butter on top of the bread.
  10. Place the bread slices on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes.
