(Adapted from a Cook’s Illustrated recipe.)
Serves 2 – 3 (double the ingredients for the garlic butter for a 1 pound loaf of bread)
5 medium garlic cloves, skins left on
3 Tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 Tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 (4 oz) La Brea Bakery Demi Baguette
1. Heat the oven to 500 degrees.
2. Put the garlic in a small pan and toast, stirring often, until fragrant and the cloves are starting to brown (about 8 minutes). Remove from pan.
3. Mash the butter, cheese, and salt together with a fork.
4. Take the skin off the garlic cloves and use a garlic press to add the garlic to the butter. Mix well.
4. Cut the bread in half and spread the garlic butter on each side. (You’ll probably have too much garlic butter, so save the rest for another use.)
5. Put the bread on a baking sheet and sprinkle with salt. Bake for 8 – 10 minutes, until golden brown and toasted.
