Sourdough Garlic Bread Recipe
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons minced garlic
- 3 tablespoons chopped parsley
- 2 loaves sourdough French bread, 1/2 lb each
- 1/2-3/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
- Mix 1/2 cup olive oil, 3 tablespoons minced garlic, and 3 tablespoons chopped parsley together in a small bowl until combined.
- Cut each of the 2 loaves of sourdough French bread, weighing 1/2 lb each, crosswise into thirds, and then cut each third in half horizontally to create smaller pieces.
- Generously brush or spoon the garlic mixture onto the cut side of each piece of bread, ensuring every bit is coated for maximum flavor.
- Sprinkle each piece with 1/2-3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese, adjusting to your cheesy preference.
- Place the bread pieces cheese side up on a baking sheet, making sure they are spread out for even broiling.
- Broil the bread pieces 8 inches from the heat until they are well browned, which should take about 3-4 minutes; keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
- Serve the Sourdough Garlic Bread warm to enjoy that delightful melty cheese.
