Italian garlic bread



Garlic bread is perfect as an appetizer, but also in the middle of the meal or at the end of a meal: in short, if you love these flavors a bit strong, it is always perfect! Easy to make, in America it is often prepared with ready-made bread, simply seasoning it and passing it in the oven ... but do you want to put the satisfaction of doing it from scratch at home?? There are various versions, but all involve the use of garlic (of course!), butter and some aromatic herbs. I was particularly intrigued by this one that also adds cheese and mayonnaise and I decided to try it on the fly. Well, I would say it was quite a success! Just preparing the flavored butter the smell is very good, but then in cooking a fantastic scent is released, of those that literally make your mouth water! 

Here I am today to tell you a simple recipe that will amaze and conquer you immediately: the garlic bread. To prepare it we do not have to prepare, knead and bake our bread, but just get some baguettes and then everything will be very simple. In short, one of those recipes also suitable for those who are clumsier in the kitchen. If you like the taste of garlic this is just the recipe for you, although I assure you that it does not feel as exaggerated as you might think and then do not forget that it is good and also keeps vampires away, in case there were any nearby! In short, we just have to run to the kitchen and prepare together a delicious garlic bread ...

Ingredients:

a large baguette or two small baguettes
50 grams of butter
7-8 cloves of garlic
a sprig of parsley

Preparation: 

Put the whole garlic cloves without cleaning them in the oven at 180 degrees for 15 minutes. In this way they soften, also partially losing their strong and unpleasant smell. Cut the baguette into slices without reaching the bottom, so that they still remain attached to each other. Leave the butter at room temperature to make it soften. Squeeze the garlic cloves into a small bowl, in this way also remove the shirt that covers them. Add the soft butter and mix well. Preheat the oven to 180°. With a spatula, spread the slices of bread between both sides, gently separating them from each other, leave a little bit to spread on the surface of the baguette. Sprinkle the bread with washed and chopped parsley. Wrap the baguette in a sheet of aluminum foil and bake in a hot oven for 10 minutes. Then open the aluminum foil and brown the garlic bread for 3-4 minutes on the surface.
