Cuisine: Italian

Ingredients
  

  • 1 baguette
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • Herbs, mozzarella, salt

Method
 

  1. Mix butter, garlic, herbs, and salt into a spread.
  2. Cut the bread deep (not through) or into slices.
  3. Spread the garlic butter generously between slices and on top.
  4. Bake at 200°C for 8-10 minutes until crisp and golden.
  5. For cheesy: add mozzarella for the last 4 minutes of baking.

Notes

Spread the butter to the very edges — unbuttered corners are a crime against garlic bread.
