Garlic Bread

Warm garlic bread can taste heavenly with salad, pasta, or all by itself. This homemade version is extra flavorful, with herbs added for a slightly brighter flavor. It is very easy to make, and comes together in about 15 minutes. Enjoy!

Here's the recipe:

• 1 loaf ciabatta bread
• 6 cloves of garlic
• olive oil
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/8 cup parsley
• 1 stick melted butter
• 1/8 pinch red chilli powder (optional)

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Heat about a teaspoon of olive oil in a pan. Mince garlic, and add to the pan. Sautée for about a minute.

I made two loaves, so this is twice as much garlic as you'll need for the recipe

2. Wash and chop the parsley. Add to the pan along with salt and chilli powder. Stir for about a minute, then take the pan off heat.

3. Cut the loaf of ciabatta lengthwise. 

4. In a medium bowl, melt a stick of butter. While it's melting, line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Place the bread on it, and spoon butter evenly over both halves of the loaf.

5. Take the garlic mixture from the pan, and spread it evenly over the bottom half of the loaf. 

6. Wrap the loaf in foil. Place it on the baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes.

7. Then, unwrap, and bake for another 5 minutes. Allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes, and serve sliced.
