Pressure Luck Garlic Bread Food

INSTANT POT ROASTED GARLIC

Steps:

• Add 1 cup of water to the Instant Pot, lay in the trivet and rest the garlic bulbs on it, sliced side facing-up. Secure the lid and hit "Manual" or "Pressure Cook" High Pressure for 5 minutes. When done, allow a 10 minute natural release followed by a quick release and hit the "Keep Warm/Cancel" button when done
• Pre-heat the oven to 450 degrees during the natural release
• Take the garlic bulbs from the Instant Pot and place on a foil-lined baking sheet with the bread and drizzle the olive oil in each bulb (about 1/2 tbsp - 1 tbsp), allowing the oil to seep into every nook and cranny of each bulb. Pop the baking sheet in the oven for 5-10 minutes on a rack level about 3/4 of the height the oven. Once the garlic is nice and browned, it will be done and ready to take out of the oven (Note: all ovens vary so keep an eye on it, but mine was perfect in 7 minutes). Allow it to cool for 10 minutes
• By now, the garlic should be relatively cool to the touch. Take each bulb and clove of garlic and squeeze the garlic meat into a bowl (it will pop right out and be almost paste-like - fascinating!). Discard any of the skin from the garlic as we only want to reserve the garlic meat (your hands will get messy from this, but that means you're doing a good job!)
• You can now do anything you want with the garlic! Schmear (that's Yiddish for "spread") it on some Italian bread, make my AMAZING Roasted Garlic Soup, my MAGNIFICO Guacamole, mashed potatoes or even eat it on its own! Enjoy!

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.
