Garlic Bread Pane Strofinato Allaglio Recipe Genius Kitchen Food

THE BEST GARLIC BREAD

Steps:

• Arrange a rack in the center of oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
• Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter is golden and the garlic is very fragrant, about 3 minutes.
• Slice the bread in half lengthwise. Liberally brush the crust with the garlic butter. Turn the bread cut-side up. Slice each loaf crosswise at 2-inch intervals without cutting all the way through, making "pull-apart" garlic bread. Liberally brush the cut sides of the bread with more garlic butter, spreading any remaining garlic evenly over top. You should use all the garlic butter. Carefully transfer the bread to a rimmed baking sheet.
• Sprinkle the loaves with the Parmesan and a pinch of salt and bake until the edges of the bread are a deep golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Top with the parsley. Serve warm.

INCREDIBLY DELICIOUS CHEESE GARLIC BREAD SPREAD

GARLIC BREAD, THREE WAYS

Steps:

• Combine the olive oil and garlic in a small bowl, and steep about 30 minutes, to let the flavors mingle.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Split the bread in half lengthwise, then cut in half crosswise, to make four pieces. Set the pieces, cut side up, on a baking sheet, and brush the bread with the flavored oil, rubbing with the garlic cloves and leaving them on top. Sprinkle with the dried oregano.
• Bake until the bread is golden and crispy, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove any large garlic pieces, and lightly season the bread with salt before serving.
• (Pane Strofinato con Formaggio): Substitute 1/4 cup grated Grana Padano or Parmigiano-Reggiano for the oregano.
• (Pane Strofinato con Pomodoro): Cut some ripe tomatoes crosswise in half. While the baked bread is still hot, rub cut surfaces of the bread with the tomato halves, until the bread has absorbed the tomato juices and the tomato pulp has rubbed onto the bread. Season lightly with salt, drizzle some extra-virgin olive oil on top, and serve immediately.

GARLIC BREAD

Steps:

• Slice loaf, LEAVING CRUST INTACT, into slices.
• It is important NOT to slice through the bottom.
• Set aside.
• Mix butter with other ingredients.
• Allow to sit on counter a while, so flavors travel all through the butter.
• Take a length of foil, and place loaf lengthwise on the foil.
• Very gently, spread slices apart, being careful not to break bottom, and spread with butter mixture.
• When all slices are spread, use any leftover butter to spread the top of the loaf.
• Wrap sides of foil up.
• Leave top UNCOVERED.
• Twist ends of foil.
• Bake on tray for about 20-30 minutes in a 350 degree oven.
• This is great with spaghetti or lasagna.
• When baking lasagna, just put it in with the lasagna for the last half hour of baking time.
