Garlic Bread
Our garlic bread is Texan, not Upstate Italian, in provenance. It’s what our mother made to serve with spaghetti or maybe a chicken in tomato sauce. It’s super easy and uses materials you probably have on hand… just what’s needed in these times.
Ingredients:
French or Italian-style bread, a loaf or part of a loaf, stale okay
Butter or olive oil (we use the oil from our Garlic Comfit and include a few cloves for good measure)
Garlic powder
Salt
Method: if the bread is too stale to cut, soften it a bit by heating for 30 seconds in the microwave. Cut into serving slices then slather one side of each slice with butter or oil. Shake on a generous amount of garlic powder, add salt to taste, reassemble the loaf. Wrap tightly in aluminum foil and bake in a 350 degree oven until bread is piping hot and oil/butter and garlic are thoroughly incorporated in the crumb. Eat immediately.
