By far, one of the best garlic breads I have tried!!! With lots of roasted garlic mingled in with butter and parmesan cheese, this bread would be a wonderful accompaniment to any spaghetti or chili dinner

Nutrition

9 -10

garlic cloves, unpeeled
6

tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2

tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
¹⁄₂

teaspoon table salt
1

Italian bread (preferably football shaped)
ground pepper

DIRECTIONS

Toast the garlic cloves in a small skillet over medium heat, shaking the pan occasionally, until fragrant and the color of the cloves deepens slightly, about 8 - 9 minutes.
When cool enough to handle, peel and mince the cloves (you should have about 3 T). Using a dinner fork, mash the garlic, butter, cheese and salt in a small bowl until thoroughly combined.
Preheat oven to 500.
Spread the cut sides sof the loaf evenly with the butter mixture; season with pepper to taste. Transfer the loaf halves, buttered side up, onto a rimmed baking sheet; bake, reversing the position of the baking sheet in the oven from front to back halfway throught the baking time, until the surface of the bread is golden brown and toasted, 5 - 10 minutes. Cut into 2" slices; serve immediately.
Note: if using salted butter, use about 1/4 tsp of salt.
