Garlic bread is a very popular side dish eaten with western foods such as mushroom soup, pasta and pizza. There are a wide variety of ways and recipes for this cuisine but, my favorite is the crispy garlic bread with a fairly strong garlic flavor.
Many people try to make garlic bread at home but encounter one of the 2 problem. First of all the garlic is not cooked enough and still tastes raw. Both, if we bake until the raw taste of garlic disappears, the bread was also burnt and bitter.
After several attempts, I came up with one of the most effective recipes by cooking butter and garlic in a mirko oven first to get rid of the raw taste of garlic. This allows us to bake for a long enough period of time to dry the bread but not too long until the bread burns.
For a tastier garlic bread, i use fresh herbs sage and parsley sprinkled on the bread after baking. If there are no fresh herbs, the dried ones can also be used but reduce a little because dried herbs taste stronger.
