Herbed Garlic Bread


GB33-pub

This is the BEST tried and true Herbed Garlic Bread. Ever. It comes out perfect every time!

I would call this one of my “go to” recipes. I serve Herbed Garlic Bread with just about all my pasta dishes. You have seen it recently featured with my Grandmas Spaghetti Sauce w/ Rigatoni. Cube up any leftovers (if you have any) to make homemade croutons for soups and salads.

I’m sure you will find this no fail recipe satisfying and easy! Speaking of satisfying – I made a delicious juicy beef sirloin (mouthwatering bliss) & will be serving up the recipe to y’all soon.
Until then – enjoy the Herbed Garlic Bread!

Butter – oh the simple goodness just may inspire another ode.

But for now 2 sticks softened will do.

GB02-pub

3 cloves of garlic (2 if they are real big),

GB04-pub

plus my main zestifiers – you see these a lot – salt-n-peppa, paprika, and garlic powder.

GB05-pub

And of course parsley. Parsley is such a virtuous herb and the star here.

Betcha didn’t know that Parsley is rich in vitamins and minerals, especially Vitamin C. It’s great for the digestion & the fresh herb contains high amounts of chlorophyll – which makes a great breath freshener.

Now for the most important part – SOURDOUGH bread only! The french variety is NOT invited.

Get it ready for the herbed garlic butter goodness and cut the sourdough loaf lengthwise.

Set aside.

GB08-pub

Add minced garlic to the softened butter.

GB09-pub

What could be better than garlic and butter?

GB10-pub

Parsley of course.

Go ahead and get fresh with the parsley, about 1/4 cup chopped will do.

GB11-pub

Add it to the bowl along with

GB12-pub

fresh ground pepper

GB13-pub

¼ teaspoon garlic powder

GB15-pub

and a pinch of salt.

Then start stirring it up

GB17-pub

until it’s nice and creamy

GB18-pub

and oh so spreadable.

GB20-pub

Place equal parts of the herbed butter onto the two halves

GB21-pub

and spread it evenly over the surface.

GB22-pub

It’s almost looking oven ready

GB23-pub

but still needs a sprinkling of paprika.

GB24-pub

Sprinkle away, live a little

GB25-pub

then place the bread into a foil “tent” and bake in a 350° oven for 5 min.

GB27-pub

After 5 min it should be a nice golden brown

GB29-pub

and look & smell simply divine.
But you still need to do one more thing.

GB30-pub

Put the two halves together; completely cover the loaf of bread in foil and bake for another 5 min or so.
