This is a quick recipe. We eat a ton of Italian food here on Glen Road (have you noticed?). What goes better with Italian food than garlic laced, herbed bread? Nothing, trust me, nothing. I have never met bread that I didn’t like. Give this garlic herbed bread a try one night at dinner. You and your family will love it.
Ingredients:
- 6 large garlic cloves, chopped
- 1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh chopped basil leaves
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup good olive oil
- 1 large baguette
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Place the garlic, parsley, basil, salt and pepper in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and process until finely minced.
Heat the olive oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and parsley mixture and cook for 1 minute, until the garlic is tender but not browned. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Slice the baguette lengthwise down the center, but not all the way through, and spoon the garlic mixture into the bread. Place the bread on a sheet pan and bake for 8 minutes. Slice diagonally and serve warm.
Super quick and super easy. The kind of recipe that I like. If you are in a pinch, I’ve also used dried parsley and basil flakes when I didn’t have fresh herbs on hand. It won’t yield the same flavor intensity as using fresh herbs, but it does come out very tasty. Give this bread a try and let us know how you liked it. What other bread recipes do you have that you can share on Acorns On Glen?

That looks wonderful. I love how it uses olive oil and fresh spicy instead of being weighed down with cheese and butter.
Hi again, Rufus’ Food and Spirit Guide. It’s good to have you back. I agree, this bread is lighter than cheese bread and doesn’t take away from the flavor of the other food you are serving. Give it a try. You won’t be sorry. Come back and visit soon.
