Easy Pan de Ajo
Report
This Garlic Bread recipe is a gem! It is incredibly simple to prepare, but the flavor is exceptional. The secret is in the roasted garlic; its mild sweetness and nutty depth take the flavor to a whole new level. Perfect as a side dish or appetizer!

Instructions
Roasted Garlic
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

- Place the garlic in a pan, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Cover with foil, and bake for 1 hour until soft.
- After cooling slightly, squeeze the cloves out of their skins and mash them with a fork to form a paste.
Garlic Bread
- Combine the mashed garlic, softened butter, dried herbs, salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese.
- Cut the bread horizontally in half.
- Spread the garlic butter over the bread's cut sides.
- Wrap in foil and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes. Unwrap and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until crisp.
- Optionally, top with cheese and bake just until the cheese melts. Slice and serve.

Notes
- Store
- Storing is not recommended, as it tastes best when served fresh.
- Make Ahead & Freeze
- Follow the recipe for garlic bread up until spreading the butter mixture on the bread. Instead of baking, wrap the bread tightly in aluminum foil and seal it inside a freezer bag, removing all air. Store it in the freezer for up to three months.
- When ready to serve, bake the garlic bread directly from the freezer in a preheated oven at 400°F, still wrapped in foil, for about 15 minutes. Then, open the foil and continue baking for another 5-10 minutes until crisp.
