Garlic Bread
Report
Rich and garlicky, this easy and versatile garlic bread is a popular appetizer or side. Make with butter or olive oil, garlic scapes or cloves for a tasty treat.

Ingredients
- 4 cloves garlic minced, or 8 garlic scapes, roughly chopped (I used a scissors to cut in 1 inch pieces)
- 1/2 cup olive oil or very soft butter
- 1 Tablespoon fresh chopped parsley or chives optional
- Optional herbs: 1 teaspoon oregano, 1/2 teaspoon thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt reduce or omit if using salted butter
- 1 loaf French bread 18-20 inches
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 F
- Cut a baguette into slices on the diagonal, leaving the bottom crust attached between the slices. Or alternatively, slice the baguette in half down the whole length of the loaf.
- Mince the garlic (I use a garlic press) or cut the scapes into 1-inch pieces.
- Blend the softened butter or oil, garlic or scapes, salt, and herbs if using in a food processor or blender until it forms a paste.
- Spread or brush on to the cut surfaces of the bread, then wrap in aluminum foil.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes until starting to crisp. If needed partially unwrap the bread and bake for another 5 minutes to desired crispness.
- Remove from foil, break (or cut) into slices and serve.
Notes
- For a prep time saver, you can cut the bread in half lengthwise and quickly spread each side of the cut with herb paste, then bake per instructions and slice when it comes out of the oven.
- Consider adding ¼ - ½ cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese to the garlic mixture for a cheese accent.
- Serving size is 2 slices (though, okay, we ate double that).
