Garlic? . . . Bread?

coffeehound

Do you make your own GB at home? If so, can you share any recipes please? Even if you don't bake your own bread it would be good to hear your tips

Mine is typically whatever bread is in the fridge spread with crushed garlic poorly mixed with spready butter. In the toaster oven until it crackles. Must do better...

Large tiger style,loaf,almost sliced through into slices but not quite.
Spread with REAL butter beaten soft with crushed garlic and chopped fresh parsley added and. Abit of sea salt.
Wrapped in tinfoil and oven baked. Oh yum.

In the words of Peter Kay's dad: "Garlic?... wi' bread?"

Oh the blessed Peter Kay ! That phrase with the tone of utter horrified shock must have been repeated in the Bolton accent by millions .

Me I find nowadays it's a sudden craving rather than planned so I keep some decent part baked bread of different sizes . French sticks or bigger loaves also baguettes for soup either in the cupboard depending on dates or the freezer so there's always something to hand . I slice part way though and like a previous poster it's crushed garlic , chopped french parsley which grows like a weed in my garden and proper butter . I grew up in the fifties when some rationing was still in force for some foods . I only tasted 50s margarine once . It seems fish oil was the basic ingredient . I was only young and refused to eat it ever again .. A few weeks of dry bread and a scrape of jam failed to break my vow . Luckily dad had left the navy and was a head chef . I got my butter
One of the first when I grow up vows i made was always to have proper butter and I have . None of your low , reduced or in any way altered butter for me . Now I'm a lurpak girl . Still as skinny as I was in the 60s and none the worse for avoiding reduced anything .

I'd go with this but would use a French stick

And maybe skip the salt.

Individual ciabatta from Mr Tesco. Spread with homemade garlic butter, a layer of mango chutney, topped with grated cheese.
Fab and tasty alternative.
