Ingredients
1/2 lb. (2 sticks) butter,
softened
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon freshly squeezed
lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
(regular table salt may also be used)
2 tablespoons fresh flat
(Italian) parsley, finely chopped
Directions
Place the minced garlic on a
flat work surface and place the salt on top of the garlic. Using the flat side of a large knife,
smash the salt into the garlic until it forms a rough paste.
Transfer garlic and salt paste into a small mixing bowl. Add
butter, olive oil and parsley, and mix with fork
until very well blended.
Cook your bread using one of the
following methods:
Broil Method (gives the bread a
browned and slightly crunchy top)
Slice loaf in half lengthwise or
into individual slices and apply spread to each loaf half or
each slice, then broil until light golden brown (about 2-3
minutes);
Bake Method (warms the bread,
yet produces a softer result)
Cut loaf either of the two ways
mentioned above, and place entire loaf in a large sheet of
aluminum foil, wrapping around entire loaf to seal. Cook in
a preheated 350°
F oven for 15 minutes.
