ROASTED GARLIC DINNER MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°. You can roast as many garlic bulbs as you wish, just roast them individually wrapped. You will need aluminum foil squares, each square big enough to wrap the bulb.
• Clear the very outer, sheer layers of of the garlic bulb but leave the thicker inner skin on. Keep the bulb intact. Slice off tips from garlic cloves on the bulb, just a little, about 1/4 inch.
• Place each individual garlic bulb in a middle on an aluminum foil square. Drizzle about a teaspoon of olive oil over the top of the bulb and wrap the bulb in foil. Place wrapped garlic bulbs onto a roasting pan and bake for 40-45 minutes.
• (Check our roasted garlic post for making ahead and storing roasted garlic!)
• Preheat the oven to 350 and grease a 12-cup muffin pan
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together buttermilk, eggs, oil and sour cream until smooth.
• Add bread flour, salt, sugar, baking powder and baking soda. Whisk until all combined.
• Add mashed roasted garlic and mix it in completely.
• Divide the batter among muffin cups, filling them 3/4 of the way full.
• Optional: Slice the garlic clove thin and place a couple of slices on top of each muffin.
• Bake for 18-20 minutes, until golden and toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.

CHEESY GARLIC BABKA MUFFINS

Steps:

• For the dough: Whisk together the warm milk, yeast and 2 teaspoons sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Allow to sit until it begins to bubble, about 5 minutes. Turn the mixer to medium and add the salt and eggs. Mix until the eggs are incorporated. Add the remaining 1/4 cup sugar, then reduce the speed to low and add the flour in batches, allowing the flour to fully incorporate with the dough between additions. Continue to mix until well combined. Add the butter in small pieces, allowing each addition to become fully incorporated before adding more. Turn the mixer to medium and let the mixer knead the dough for 10 minutes. Spray a large bowl with cooking spray. Place the dough in the bowl, cover with a towel or plastic wrap and allow to rise until it has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• For the filling: Spray a 12-cup muffin tin and set aside. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and use a rolling pin to roll it out into a 12-by-18-inch rectangle. Brush the olive oil over the dough and sprinkle with the chile flakes, garlic, Gruyere, pine nuts and oregano. Starting from the longer side, roll the dough up tightly, similar to how you make a cinnamon roll, and pinch the edges to seal, placing it seam-side down. You should have an 18-inch log. Cut into 24 slices, then smush two slices into each muffin cup, cut-side up and overlapping. (This whole process is a little messy and rustic but when they bake and rise they will look beautiful.) Cover with a kitchen towel and set aside for 30 minutes.
• To finish: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Beat the egg together in a small bowl with 1 tablespoon water. Brush the tops of the muffins with the egg wash and sprinkle with flaky salt, pepper and Parmesan. Bake until puffed and golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Allow the muffins to cool slightly, then use a sharp paring knife to run around the edges to release them from the tin.

GARLIC BUTTER ENGLISH MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Position a rack over a baking sheet.
• Melt the butter with the garlic in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Brush both sides of the muffins with the garlic butter and place them split-side up on the rack. Sprinkle with the Parmesan. Bake until browned, about 10 minutes. Serve immediately.

GARLIC-BUTTER ROASTED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Clean mushrooms with a damp paper towel and gently remove and discard stems.
• Drizzle oil into a large cast iron skillet to evenly coat. Place mushrooms into the skillet, cap-side down. Carefully sprinkle garlic into the mushroom cavities, taking care not to sprinkle directly into the skillet. Drizzle mushrooms with melted butter, then season with salt and pepper.
• Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and return to the oven for 3 to 5 more minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with parsley. Let cool slightly before serving.

ROASTED GARLIC WITHOUT FOIL

Steps:

• Method 1: Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (125 degrees C). Slice 1/4 inch off top of garlic bulb. Place in a small baking dish and drizzle with olive oil. Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes, until outside is lightly browned and garlic cloves are soft. When cool enough to touch, squeeze each clove to extract softened garlic.
• Method 2: Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (125 degrees C). Peel each garlic clove. Place in a single layer in a small baking dish and drizzle with olive oil. Bake for 15 minutes, until garlic is soft.

ROASTED GARLIC MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
• Cut away the stems from the mushrooms. The stems may be put to another use, such as in soups, or they may be discarded.
• Put the mushroom caps in a double layer in a rimmed baking dish and set aside.
• Blend the butter with the thyme leaves.
• Tie an equal number of fresh herb sprigs into three bundles. Insert these at intervals between the mushroom caps.
• Divide the butter into 16 portions and scatter these on top of the mushrooms.
• Sprinkle the vinegar, salt and pepper over all.
• Place the baking dish in the oven and bake 15 minutes. Sprinkle the roasted garlic over all. Stir the mushrooms and baste them with the butter. Continue baking 10 minutes.
