Ingredients:

 

Roasted garlic butter:

Garlic - 1 whole bulb

EVOO

Salt

Pepper

Softened/melted butter

Parsley

 

Method:

- Pre-heat oven to 375°F.

 

- Prep the bulb of garlic in one of two ways:

 

a- leave the bulb intact and slice off just the top of the bulb, ensuring all of the cloves are exposed

 

b- break the bulb down into individual cloves and peel each one

 

- Tear off a sheet of Al foil and placed the prepped garlic (either as a bulb or indiv cloves, per the above) in the middle of the foil.

 

a- if using an intact bulb, drizzle some EVOO over the top of each clove in the bulb

 

b- if using indiv cloves, drizzle a little EVOO over the cloves and toss with your hands to ensure each is coated

 

- Season bulb/cloves w/ S&P, seal up the foil in to a pouch, and place in the oven (middle rack) for 20-25 minutes. 

 

- Cook until garlic is fragrant and very soft; if using an intact bulb, garlic should be easily squeezed out like toothpaste out of the tube.  If using indiv cloves, they should also be very soft and easily mashed into a paste.

 

- Squeeze the garlic out of the bulb (or mash the indiv cloves) into a soft paste.  If any EVOO is still in the foil from cooking, add that in to the garlic paste.

 

- Fold into softened butter, or if using melted butter, stir in mashed garlic until well incorporated.  Season to taste w/ S&P.

 

To make the bread:

- Pre-heat oven to 375°F.

 

- Split a good loaf of Italian bread lengthwise into 2 halves, and smear garlic butter evenly onto each half.

 

- Reassemble loaf, and wrap in foil. 

 

- Place in oven and bake for ~10 minutes, or until bread is hot.

 

- Take bread out of oven, unwrap foil, and split loaf into halves, cut side up.  Sprinkle w/ parsley if desired.

 

- Return loaf halves to oven on foil, (you may want to place them on a baking sheet for this), and bake 5-7 more minutes, to make the bread crustier.

 

- Remove from oven, cut into desired serving size, and serve immediately.

 

Notes:

 

- The garlic can be roasted ahead of time and stored in the fridge until needed.

 

- For a twist: provolone cheese can be added to cut side of bread after removal and unwrapping, and before returning to the oven for crisping.

How much butter do you typically mix the whole bulb of garlic into?

For a whole loaf of Italian bread, I'd suggest 4 tablespoons/half a stick of butter as a starting point.
