How to Make Grandma's Garlic Bread

How to Make Grandma's Garlic Bread

This delicious garlic bread recipe goes great with my Grandma's Best Spaghetti recipe.

Things You’ll Need: Bread, Olive Oil, Garlic, Butter, Paprika, Oregano.

BREAD - Start with a great bread. I love to use the Columbo Sourdough but you can use your favorite. Cut the bread lengthwise so that you have two long "boats".

PREPARE GARLIC - Chop at least 6 cloves of garlic or more if you are daring. Place the garlic in olive oil. Spread the garlic and olive oil mixture onto the bread. I usually use a spoon to apply it.

BUTTER - Cover the bread with butter. On top of the garlic. You may want to soften the butter slightly so that it is easier to apply.

SPRINKLE with paprika, do not overdo the paprika, just a light dusting and then lightly cover with oregano. BAKE at 325 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until slightly browned and all of the butter is melted. The bread will be juicy, garlicy, and buttery. Slice and serve.
