Garlic Bread Secrets

Let me tell you some simple garlic bread secrets:

• Fresh bread – garlic bread should be made using fresh bread. This may be obvious but I can’t count the number of times we got old stale bread in a restaurant they tried to revive in the oven
• Fresh butter – the same applies to garlic butter. Get fresh butter and let it go soft outside of the fridge
• Crushed garlic – when using garlic do not mince it with a knife but crush the garlic with a pestle and mortar. This will release some oil but also take away the sharpness of the garlic
• Cheese mix – use a mix of cheese like mozzarella and parmesan that work together perfectly. The Mozzarella will go soft and bubbly with the parmesan adding some salty taste
• Bake and broil – you not only bake the bread in the oven but you also put the bread under the broiler
