Andy's Garlic Bread

Andy Wold's Note:

This is definitely a garlic lover's garlic bread. If one person eats it for dinner, everyone ought to eat it. Everything up to baking the loaf can easily be done by children.

I pretty much agree with the previous reviewer. This is a break from the under-the-broiler garlic bread I'm used to. It's pretty buttery, and soft, and was pretty good. I made it exactly as written; it was an interesting new technique to re-assemble the loaf in foil. But I do think it could use more garlic.

Andy, this is a good basic garlic bread and having a nice soft bread instead of a really crisp from the broiler was pleasing. However, for true garlic lovers you need to up the cloves. I made the bread as directed and it had very little garlic taste. Next time I will double the amount of garlic. Made and reviewed for My-3-Chefs 08
