Our Extra Garlicy Garlic Bread
Minda and I love bread. Garlic makes bread even better. At our home there are different levels to the garlic bread we have with meals or snacks. If we are going basic we sprinkle a little granulated garlic on top of sliced bread. When we go with what I call “fancy” we roast several heads of garlic and add minced garlic along with margarine and parmesan to make a garlicy garlic spread. Even our son loves it when we have our fancy garlic bread and believes every night is a good night for our Extra Garlicy Garlic Bread.
Ingredients, Substitutions, and Additions
Garlic – I love garlic. I would add it to any meal if I could. For our Extra Garlicy Garlic Bread we make roasted garlic then add additional minced garlic. If you love garlic this is for you.
Cheese – We add grated parmesan into our spread. It brings the perfect amount of saltiness and flavor. Sometimes when cooking is almost complete, we sprinkle some shredded cheddar for extra cheese. I love smoked gouda in place of cheddar. Use any cheese you like.
Margarine – I personally love how easy margarine is to spread and that’s why we use it. I always forget to take the butter out of the fridge to soften, but it is just as good.
Bread – Minda loves a sourdough loaf while I love a French loaf. When we have our Extra Garlicy Garlic Bread we pick up a loaf from the grocery store and grab what looks best for the day. Minda and I slice our loaf in half, so it is easier to work with. Depending on how we want our bread we will slice it length wise or into individual pieces.
Dry Seasonings – We only use kosher salt when we roast our garlic but have added thyme, rosemary, sage, and fennel seed to give extra flavor. If you want extra garlic or seasoning add some granulated garlic, granulated onion, or red pepper flakes into your garlic spread.
