Home made garlic bread (never been so easy)

I have always loved garlic bread and I never miss ordering garlic bread sticks with a pizza. The best garlic bread is usually almost bathing in butter but if you are looking for an easy garlic bread recipe that’s healthy too, here it is…

Preparation time:  10 minutes

Cooking time: 5-6 minutes

Serves: 5-6

You need:

A loaf of French bread           

1 tbsp olive oil

5 tbsp butter

5-6 tsp of garlic paste

5-6 pinches of dried herbs (I use basil or oregano)

Salt to taste (if you are using unsalted butter, I used salted)

Step-by-step:

• Preheat oven to 170⁰ C
• Cut the bread into two halves and cut each loaf horizontally

• Melt the butter (if you are melting the butter in the microwave, make sure you don’t let it boil 'cos it'll spoil the taste)
• Mix the garlic paste and olive oil into the butter
• Transfer the bread on to a chopping board and cut into thick slices (cut into stips if you like garlic bread sticks)

• Spread the butter garlic on both sides of the bread
• Spinkle salt this stage( if you are using unsalted butter or if you like it with extra salt)
• Crush the dried herbs and sprinkle all over it (look at it....it I can’t wait anymore)
• Take a baking dish, place a sheet to aluminum foil on it
• Bake for 5-6 minutes (at the same temp), until it's lightly brown on top
• Carefully remove from the oven and let it cool for about 2-3 minutes

That’s it! Your homemade garlic bread is ready!!

Variation: If you want a cheesy garlic bread, add some mozzarella cheese to the bread before you bake it

Yours tastefully!!
