GARLIC BREAD
INGREDIENTS:
Bread of your choice
1 stick melted butter or margarine
1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley 3 cloves
fresh finely chopped garlic
1 teaspoon sweet basil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Oregano, sprinkle
Allow butter or margarine to come up to room temperature in a medium size
bowl or help it along in the microwave. When butter is soft, add the
chopped parsley, chopped garlic, garlic powder, sweet basil and sprinkle in
Oregano and mix well.
NOTE: Butter does taste better but it is your choice.
Not being a purist for this recipe and being somewhat frugal,
I use whatever bread I have on hand; Italian sliced bread or in loaf
form, French or regular burger buns and coat each piece of bread evenly top
and bottom with the above mixture using a pastry brush. If using whole
loaf, slice each piece about 1 inch thick. Arrange bread on a cookie
sheet or baking pan and bake in pre-heated 375 degree oven for 5 minutes
until bottom begins to turn golden brown. Turn oven off and set broil
to high and broil until golden brown and dark around the edges and center is
not soggy.
Serve immediately or store in a bread basket covered with a towel until
ready to use.
