Garlic Bread Recipe
You need to make garlic butter to make this garlic bread recipe. Garlic is very tasty but it can linger on the breath after eating. There is a technique to remove the central shoot in the garlic. If you trim the end off and take the skin away, then slice the clove lengthways. In the middle, you will see a different coloured strip - it can be a bit greener and is very definitely a different texture. Slip a very sharp knife under one side and ease this piece out - do it on both halves. This is an indigestible piece and is what's reputed to make the smell linger on your breath. I've tried it and it does seem to work. Preheat the oven to 400F/200C/gas mark 6 So first - make your garlic butter. For a large french stick, you will need 4 ozs (100g) softened butter Take 1 long french stick and slice it at about 2 inch intervals. Do not cut it all the way to the bottom so that it stays in one long loaf. Spread the butter between the slices and re-form into a loaf. Wrap in tinfoil and bake for about 10 minutes. Undo the tinfoil and peel it back to expose the crust. Cook another 5 minutes to crisp the loaf. If you're only cooking for one or two, then make up the garlic butter - any excess will keep in the fridge. Take one or two slices of bread and toast under the grill on one side. Turn and butter the bread then toast until golden brown. This is an excellent garlic bread recipe if you only want a small amount.
