How to make the best Herbed Garlic Bread

Level of Difficulty: Easy
Prep Time: Approx 45 mins-1 hr
Serving Suggestion: Perfect as is, or with pasta or soup!
Serving Size: Good for 6 pax

Here's what we used:

• 6 pcs banh mi baguette from Twekve Loaves Bakery or french baguette
• 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter from Pinkie's Farm
• 1 cup chopped fresh basil from Future Fresh
• 1 cup chopped fresh parsley from Future Fresh
• 1/2 cup Yogi Brunch Sicilian garlic confit (make sure the garlic is packed, and best to add in some of the oil for extra flavor)
  
• 2 tbps Yogi Brunch arugula & basil pesto 
• dash of salt
• EVOO

All ingredients on the table!

This Sicilian Garlic Confit from Yogi Brunch cuts the process in half! No more chopping needed! You can just smash it right into the butter.

Really good bread as our base:  Banh Mi from Twelve Loaves to make the perfect garlic bread!

Get Started! Prepare everything you need:

• Place your butter in a bowl, cover, and let it soften naturally by leaving it at room temperature. You may want to do this a few hours before preparing everything else!
  
• Wash all fresh herbs and pat them dry before chopping them
  
• Slice your bread diagonally from the short end side,  about quarter of an inch thick,so that it’s still strung together by the crust - as though slices would open like a book
• To make the herbed butter: mix softened butter, Sicilian garlic confit, arugula & basil pesto in a bowl and set aside
• To make the herb filling: coarsely chop fresh basil and parsley, combine, then add a dash of salt and olive oil and set aside

 Assemble, Toast, and Eat:

1. Line up your baking sheet or alimimun sheet with foil, big enough that you can wrap around and seal it with the bread inside
2. Assemble your semi-sliced bread in the middle of the sheeted pan
3. Slab generous amounts of herbed butter onto the creases of the bread- where you sliced it open
4. Wrap and seal the foil
5. Put it in the oven (or toaster) for 20 mins at 350F or until crunchy on the outside. Check every ten minutes and turn the bread so it is evenly toasted.
   
6. Remove from oven when you see it a bit golden brown and toasted to perfection. This should be crusty on the outside and soft inside!
7. Insert the chopped fresh herbs in those same creases for added freshness and serve immediately!
   

Option to freeze and eat later (This can last in the freezer for months!):

1. Follow steps 1-3 above
2. Insert the chopped fresh herbs in those same creases where you brushed your butter
   
3. Wrap in foil and place in an air-tight zip lock
4. Ready to freeze!
