You've got to have good bread - forget those supermarket loaves of "Italian"
bread. Then just toast the slices, rub with a peeled garlic clove, and brush
with top quality olive oil.

I need a good and simply recipe for Garlic bread

Melt 1 stick (4 oz butter) with 3-4 finely chopped cloves of garlic
(or to taste).

Slice a long loaf of French or Italian bread lengthwise.

Use a pastry brush to daub the cut sides of the bread with the
garlic/butter mixture, sprinkle lightly with paprika.

Put cut sides together. Wrap loosely in foil and bake at 425 degrees
for 10 - 15 minutes, depending on how crunchy you like the crust to
be.

If you want something simpler, you can substitute jarred chopped or
crushed garlic.

Cut a loaf of bread in half lengthwise and then in half again so you have 4
quarters.

Mix softened butter and evoo into a paste adding crushed garlic and some romano
or parmesan cheese.

Line a cookie sheet with foil,

Spread the quarters with the cheese/garlic/butter/oil mixture. Bake in a 350
degrees oven until the crust starts to crisp, about 12 to 15 minutes depending
on the bread and the placement in the oven. Turn on the broiler and broil until
the top is brown and crispy but not burnt. If you like some herbs can be added
at the mixture But I prefer not to do so.

Thing is, you open the jar and it smells great ... put it in your
food and there just isn't that garlic flavor going on, I really
dislike that stuff. I think all the flavor winds up in the oil or
something. I admit, I am very fussy about garlic.

I have been known to keep a jar of it in the fridge for emergencies.
Garlic emergencies are serious stuff.

(laugh) You ain't kidding ... I have a jar there myself. I bet that
oil would be good on the bread along with the garlic, might
really be good for that.

One of the "speed dial" numbers on my phone is programmed for "The
Garlic-Emergency Clinic". (1-800-GARLICISBAD). They have councilors on
hand to talk you through the withdrawal symptoms....

The easiest way I know to make garlic bread is to crush some
garlic into some good olive oil. slice some nice bread
(Italian loaf or baguette), brush the oil and garlic onto
the bread, wrap it in foil and heat. Alternately, you can
toast some sliced bread and simply rub it with a crushed
garlic clove.

Take a loaf of french bread and slice it lengthwise. Spread each side
with butter and then spread crushed garlic on top of the butter. Pop
under a broiler just for a minute or until the bread gets nice and
toasty. It doesn't get much easier than that.

Thanks for posting the *real* way to make garlic bread. Wrapping it
in foil is akin to wrapping potatoes in foil to bake.

I like to sprinkle a little dried basil (fresh, if I have any) on it
occasionally.

A different approach. It needs a loaf of bread with a French or
Italian-style crust. Take a clove of garlic and rub it firmly on the
entire surface of the bread. The garlic will wear down and deposit
itself on the crust. It may take more than one clove. Use however many
it takes. Slice the bread open along one long side leaving the other
side connected as a hinge. Mash two or three cloves of garlic with about
1/2 teaspoon or so of salt and process that into maybe 1/2 cup olive
oil. Spread/pour that into the opened loaf of bread, getting it as
evenly distributed as possible. More oil, if you like. Close it and pop
into a 300°F oven for about 10 minutes. Slice and serve or just throw it
into the middle of a crowd of hungry people. They'll tear it up and
that's fine, too.

For a wonderfully subtle difference, forget the salt and throw in two or
three anchovy fillets. Smash them and the garlic into a paste, then add
the oil and process together. Finish as above.

Yowzah... as they say along the Mediterranean coast.

I can't believe no one has mentioned (or maybe I missed it) roasting a head
of garlic at about 350F and then squeezing the garlic paste onto lightly
toasted bread and drizzling with lightly warmed olive oil. To die for!
