Garlic Bread

A perfect accompaniment for pasta dishes, and/or it could be a quick snack.  Very easy to make and take little time. 

Serves 2-4
Prep: 15 min
Cook: 15 min


3 large garlic cloves
100g softened butter
2 tbsp finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 ciabatta or 1 small baguette

Method:

1)Pre-heat the oven to 400F/200C/gas mark 6.
2)Peel the garlic and finely chop.
3)Mix with the butter and stir in the parsley.
4)Using a sharp knife, make diagonal incisions about 3cm apart, as if you were slicing the loaf but without cutting right through.
5)Take a sheet of tinfoil large enough to parcel the loaf and place the loaf in the middle. Use a knife to smear the garlic butter between the slices, close up the parcel and bake for 10 minutes.
6)To achieve a crusted top, open the foil and bake for a further 5 minutes.

Happy Cooking!
