How Do You Make Spicy Garlic Bread?
• Preheat your oven to 450 degrees and put your rack on the 2nd or 3rd rung from the top. You want it just above the center of the oven. • Set up a cookie sheet with a sheet of foil on it to make for easier cleanup. • Get 1/2 a loaf of French, sourdough, or wheat baguette, your choice. It does not have to be fresh, and tastes equally good with day-old bread. • Slice the baguette lengthwise in half, then score it (shallow cuts-don’t separate!) into ‘slices’ of about 3-5 inches long, depending on how many people you’re serving. Split half of a long baguette, with 3 pieces each to share between two. • Take a coffee cup or bowl, mix about 3-4 TBSP of good olive oil with 2-3 tsp of chopped garlic (fresh or from a jar). Do not use garlic powder! If you run out, feel free to add more of each. It’s all to your taste. • Put your bread on the cookie sheet, then using your spoon, spread the garlic mixture over the long, scored halves of the baguette • Use your favorite spice.
