BEST Garlic Bread Ever.

I love garlic.
Really love garlic.
Really REEEEEALLY love garlic.
If any recipe calls for it, I'll probably double (at least!) the amount it asks for......just because it's delicious.

I know not everyone loves garlic itself...but I'm pretty sure the whole world loves garlic bread.

This recipe for garlic bread is my go-to, my staple, when it comes to making the stuff. These days, I'm pretty lazy about the amounts, and just kind of add whatever ingredients I know should be in there in whatever quantities I want...and it still comes out yummy. It's just that good of a recipe.

The credit goes to an Angie Asplund, who, along with her sister wrote a great little cookbook that is one of my favourites. The best part is that I won it. I never win anything! That may also be why it's one of my favourite cookbooks...to it, I owe a major boost of self-esteem. Ha.

Anyways. Here it is.

"Garlic Bread"...Also referred to as the best garlic bread ever. By me.
from the book eat something pretty...because you are what you eat by Kyla Hornberger and Angie Asplund

1 loaf French Bread
1 cup butter, softened
2 Tbsp mayonnaise
1 Tbsp minced garlic
1 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 grated parmesan cheese

"1. Preheat oven on the broiler setting
2. Mix all ingredients except Parmesan cheese together until smooth. Cut French bread loaf in half lengthwise and generously spread butter mixture. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Broil in oven until nicely toasted, about 2-3 minutes. Cut into wedges or angled slices and serve."

There ya have it. And I think it goes without saying (but I'm going to say it anyways, ha.) that it doesn't have to be French Bread...anything bread-y will do...and I usually use the powdery parmesan in the can (because I'm cheap and that's usually all I have on hand) and it tastes just fine. Also, I just mix it all together now...including the cheese...and spread it all on. It works. Not the nicest looking...but still tasty. The end.


P.S. Don't you love how I talk about the pictures I'll take of food...and then never do? HA!
