Ingredients

  • 12 tablespoons butter softened
  • 4 garlic cloves very finely minced
  • ¼ teaspoon sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 12 (1-inch slices) Italian or French bread

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Using a fork, beat butter, garlic, sugar, salt and pepper in small bowl until combined. Spread butter mixture evenly over both sides of bread.
  2. Freeze the slices on a large baking sheet or plate until firm, about 15 minutes. After they are firm, transfer the slices to a freezer ziploc bag and freeze for up to one month.
  3. To serve, preheat oven to 425 degrees. Arrange bread on rimmed baking sheet and bake until golden brown on the first side, about 10 minutes. Flip and bake until golden brown on the second side, 6-7 minutes more. Serve.

Notes

  • Baking the Bread: to serve the bread immediately instead of freezing, bake buttered bread on rimmed baking sheet at 425 degrees for 8 minutes then flip and bake 5 more minutes on the second side.
