I'm 76 and in the past decade I have changed everything from my old dish towels to all my pots & pans AND recipes to those of the Test Kitchen. And I am SO glad the 2 of you have remained here and the same as I have always known you! God bless this Test Kitchen!

Microwave and garlic powder and store-bought french bread!? I love this channel, it is for real people.

[@z3180160]

this video should call "how to make complicated crappy garlic bread"

[@tbillyjoeroth]

No, real people have to do the clean-up, and real recipes sometimes fail for some reason. Theirs never do and things cook instantly. I've yet to see any dishwashing and hardly ever any measuring spoons. This is not "real".

[@MickyELee]

Years ago when I had visitors from Italy, they put some sliced bread on a grill and got it nice and toasted. Then they rubbed a garlic clove on the toast. The toast acted as a rasp on the clove, and the oil softened the toast. At some point you will get no more garlic because the toast surface is softened by the garlic oil. It's self-adjusting. Finally, a little salt and olive oil to finish. Voila, garlic toast made easily. Occam's Razor.

[@lanaelias9956]

[@Astavyastataa]

The Spaniards add a tonato, done the same way, and it’s delicious.

[@MrEazyE357]

I've done it this way for as long as I can remember.

[@Eddie_the_Husky]

Right. It's a million times easier than this. I also add Italian herbs and it's perfect. Sometimes i use ghee since it's already spreadable when i don't want the flavor of OO

[@pragawa]

I should try that! Thanks, Micky Lee!

[@hopefletcher7420]

This is a fabulous recipe. I've tweaked it by using italian rolls (same as the loaf but smaller, Vons has them). They freeze beautifully so you can always have garlic bread in a few minutes. I just freeze unwrapped and then indivually wrap in Freeze-tite.

This garlic bread is delicious. It's my go-to with pasta, or a side of meatballs, and even with a salad. Sometimes I make a double batch of the garlic paste and leave it in the fridge so it's available any time I want garlic bread. When I want garlic bread I just scoop some of the paste out, put it in a small bowl, and leave it on the counter until it's room temp, then I make garlic bread per the rest of the directions. I've used all kinds of bread with this paste and every single time it's delicious. Just follow the cooking directions as far as oven temp and flipping the bread.

[@sfjinx]

Great recipe. Everyone loves this version!

We have loved all of the ATK family's recipes and insights! Now that our children have moved out, it would be great if you could "downsize" the recipes for two, and/or give storage/freezing instructions for leftovers. thank you for the inspirations and taking the scary out of the kitchen!

[@roberttelarket4934]

The best garlic bread I ever tasted was about 17 years ago at a Thanksgiving gathering of 75 people, not religiously affiliated, at a Lutheran Church in San Francisco California near Van Ness and Geary. We learned it was made by a chef who told us he simply made it by scrapping the garlic cloves on the surface of the bread. We all couldn't believe how delicious it was!!!

[@pakurilecz]

i always add grated parmesan on top of my garlic bread before putting it in the oven. I also do it under the broiler

[@juansierralonche9864]

I wonder if you could just add parmesan to this recipe or if that might make it stick to the pan.

[@Cyrribrae]

@@juansierralonche9864 it would stick at the end, but if you're willing to sacrifice the top crust for cheese, I don't think anyone would blame you. Right?

[@Payin_Attention]

You'd want to add the parm after going through all this. Place an oven safe container with water in it on a lower rack. It will keep the bread from drying out. Just add the parm at the end and broil for a few more minutes. I'm going to do that with shredded mozz, the next time I make garlic bread. I think it will be good.

[@pakurilecz]

thanks but with my methodology the bread never dried, good luck with yours

forgot to add mine is always face up no turning over

I do mine like this, but I put do the cooked garlic, then put fresh raw garlic (no powder). Then parmigiano-reggiano cheese on it so when I flip it.... and it browns. It is so good, and crunchy. I also use olive oil, at first and then put the cold butter. Great with a nice salad, glass of wine or cold beer.

I made this bread with one of Guy Fier's visit to Italy's recipes, and the gang went head over heels with this bread. This is the only way I do my garlic bread now.

[@aPerson...]

I have made this once so I don’t know how it is normally but, I recommend adding mozzarella cheese in with the “garlic baby food” especially if you (like me) added to much butter and it didn’t turn into more of a baby food consistency, because I found that it helped make it more like a spread than just a butter liquid. I haven’t tried it without the extra cheese but with the cheese it was really good. I also added a bit of Mexican cheese blend on top.
