Description
A cozy and comforting sourdough garlic bread, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 14 oz Sourdough Loaf
- 10 tbsp Butter (unsalted)
- 12 cloves Garlic (peeled)
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/4 tsp Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 2 tbsp Parsley (roughly chopped, plus more for garnish)
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1/4 tsp Sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350℉, allowing the warmth to envelop your space.
- Carefully slice the sourdough loaf into 1-inch slices, stopping just before you cut all the way through the bottom. Place it on a parchment or foil-lined sheet pan for easy cleanup.
- In a small ramekin, combine the garlic cloves and red pepper flakes, covering them with olive oil. Place this cozy mixture into the oven and roast for 20-25 minutes until the garlic is fork-tender. Let it cool completely.
- Once cooled, remove the garlic from the oil (don’t toss that delicious oil—it’ll be a delight later!). Use a fork to smash the garlic cloves into a creamy paste.
- In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, smashed garlic, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, parsley, and parmesan cheese. Add a sprinkle of sea salt to round it out.
- With a small offset spatula, generously spread the creamy garlic butter mixture into all the delicious slits of the bread, making sure every nook and cranny is filled with flavor.
- Wrap the loaf in foil and bake for 15 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes to achieve that divine golden crust.
Notes
You can prepare the garlic butter mixture in advance and bake when you’re ready. Perfect for busy weeknights.
