As far as bread goes, we have to admit that garlic bread is our favorite. There’s just something magical about how well the pungent garlic melts into the soft bread that makes it the perfect addition to any meal (or an entire meal on its own!) If you can’t get enough of the stuff, here are some ways to make it even better!
Get it Crisp
Good garlic bread is crisp on the crust and pillowy on the inside. Great garlic bread is crispy and crunchy all the way through. If sinking your teeth into toast is one of your favorite sensations, grilling your garlic bread will give you the same happiness.
Confit for the Win
As the main star of the show, there are many ways to add the garlic. You could rub a clove along the bread to get a subtle but strong hit of flavor. Mincing the garlic will make it more pungent due to the breakdown of the cell’s walls. But our personal favorite is confiting the cloves in hot oil to make them melt in your mouth.
Don’t Stop There
Garlic bread is quite perfect as it is, but adding other elements can make it even better. Anchovies are one ingredient that sits particularly nicely atop garlic bread, as does goat’s cheese, or caramelized onion.
