Garlic bread

Garlic Bread

Garlic bread (/ˈɡɑːrlɪk brɛd/) is a type of bread dish made by flavoring bread with garlic and other ingredients.

Etymology

The term "garlic bread" is derived from the English words "garlic" and "bread". "Garlic" comes from the Old English garleac, meaning "spear leek", and "bread" comes from the Old English brēad, meaning "piece, morsel".

Ingredients

Garlic bread typically consists of bread, preferably a baguette or artisan loaf, spread with a mixture of butter and crushed or minced garlic, then heated until the butter is melted and the bread is slightly toasted. Some variations include additional ingredients like parsley, olive oil, cheese, or herbs.

Preparation

The bread is sliced, but not all the way through, creating a fan effect with the individual slices. The garlic butter mixture is then spread between the slices and over the top of the bread. The bread is then wrapped in foil and baked until the butter is melted and the bread is slightly toasted.

Variations

There are many variations of garlic bread, including bruschetta, which is an Italian version that includes tomatoes and basil, and cheesy garlic bread, which includes melted cheese on top.
