Warm Herb Garlic Bread Recipes

GARLIC AND HERB BREAD

Steps:

• For bread machine: Place all ingredients in bread pan as recommended by your manufacturer. Process on "Regular" or "White Bread" cycle. Remove promptly after baking cycle is complete.

HERB GARLIC BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the garlic, parsley, basil, salt and pepper in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and process until finely minced. Heat the olive oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and parsley mixture and cook for 1 minute, until the garlic is tender but not browned. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Slice the baguette lengthwise down the center, but not all the way through, and spoon the garlic mixture into the bread. Place the bread on a sheet pan and bake for 8 minutes. Slice diagonally and serve warm.

PARMESAN GARLIC HERB BREAD

Steps:

• In a bowl or large measuring cup combine the water, sugar and yeast. Stir to mix. Set aside for about 10 minutes.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, herbs, salt, pepper and Parmesan. Stir to mix.
• Add the oil and the garlic to the yeast-water mix. Stir to mix.
• Add the liquids to the dry ingredients. Stir to mix thoroughly. A dough ball will form.
• Knead dough in bowl or lightly floured surface for about 8 minutes.
• When finished kneading, coat all sides of the ball of dough with the 1T extra olive oil. Let rest in a draft free place (inside the oven will work) for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours -- until the dough has doubled in volume.
• After that, 'punch down' the dough and knead briefly.
• Form into loaf, place in baking pan (I line the pan with parchment paper so it doesn't stick to the pan) and let rest again for about 40 - 50 minutes.
• Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Combine egg and water by whisking with fork. This is your 'egg wash'.
• Using a soft basting brush or pastry brush, paint loaf with egg wash. If you are using the sesame seeds, sprinkle them on top now. Make 1 long superficial slice down the middle of the loaf or 4 diagonal slices.
• Bake for about 33 - 35 minutes. Bread is done when it sounds hollow when tapped.
• Enjoy with Italian foods, as toast or later on, dry and use as croutons.

HERBED GARLIC BREAD

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together parsley, thyme, lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper, and olive oil in a small bowl.
• Using a bread knife, slice loaf into 12 half-inch pieces, cutting only 3/4 of the way through the loaf so it stays intact. Brush herb mixture liberally between each slice. Wrap loaf loosely in foil. Heat until warm, about 10 minutes. Serve immediately.

CRUSTY GARLIC AND HERB BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Oil the inside of the bowl of a mini food processor. Add the softened butter, garlic, cheese and herbs. Pulse until well combined.
• Slice the bread into 1-inch thick slices. You will need 12 to 16 slices.
• Spread the butter mixture onto 1 side of each bread slice. Arrange slices, butter side up and bake in the oven until lightly toasted, about 5 to 8 minutes.
