• Cut the baguette in half through the middle and open the 2 pieces like a book, cut-side up. Spread the butter mixture evenly on each of the cut sides. Sandwich the 2 sides together and cut the baguette in half. Wrap each half in foil and place them on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes.
• Remove the baking sheet from the oven and turn the broiler to high. Carefully unwrap the foil packs and open the bread, exposing the buttered sides. Return the baking sheet to the oven and broil until the edges are toasted, about 1 minute. Cut each baguette quarter into 3 pieces and serve.

Steps:

• Heat the grill to high. Beat together the mayonnaise, butter and garlic cloves until smooth. Chop basil, stir through and season with salt and pepper. Put the halves of the ciabatta, sliced lengthways, on a baking tray and spread with the butter. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan, then grill for 2-3 mins.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the first six ingredients; spread over cut sides of bread. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Broil 4-6 inches from the heat for 2-3 minutes or until lightly browned. Cut into 2-in. slices.

Steps:

• Arrange a rack in the center of your oven, and preheat to 400.
• Bloom half the garlic: Thinly slice 7 of the cloves. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, and add garlic. Cook, stirring and swirling constantly, 7 to 8 minutes, or until the garlic is aromatic and tender. Do not allow it to take on any color. (If you sense it starting to brown, remove the pan from heat, and add a few drops of water.) Pour garlic and butter into a heatproof bowl, and set aside to cool to room temperature.
• Very roughly chop remaining garlic, then place in the bowl of a mortar. Add a generous pinch of salt, and pound to a very fine paste.
• Place the cooled garlic butter in the bowl of a food processor along with the garlic paste, chopped parsley, chopped chives and chopped basil. Pulse until everything is very finely chopped, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula as needed. Add remaining butter, Parmesan and black pepper. Pulse to combine, again stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula. Taste, and add salt as needed.
• Deeply score the loaf of bread in 1-inch slices, but don't cut all the way through. Use an offset spatula or butter knife to generously spread garlic butter on one side of each slice, as far down as you can reach.
• Wrap the bread in aluminum foil, and place on a baking sheet. Bake on the center rack for 10 minutes, rotate the loaf 180 degrees and bake 10 minutes more. Unwrap the loaf, return it to the baking sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is brown and crisp. Remove from the oven, and let cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the parsley leaves and chive pieces. Tear the basil leaves into the bowl in 1-inch pieces. Add a pinch of salt, and dress lightly with a few drops of olive oil. Stuff herb salad into the bread crevices, and serve the loaf immediately.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F.
• Mix all ingredients except bread; spread onto cut sides of bread.
• Reassemble bread loaf; wrap in foil.
• Bake 15 min. or until heated through. Unwrap bread; slice. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Light a grill or turn heat to high. Drizzle both sides of bread with olive oil and grill for 2 to 3 minutes without turning, until one side is crisp and beginning to char.
• Remove bread from grill and rub grilled side thoroughly with the cut garlic. Evenly distribute Parmesan on the grilled side and return toast to the grill, cheese side up. Close lid and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Transfer to a cutting board, slice each piece of toast in half and serve garnished with basil leaves.

Steps:

• Combine 2 cups flour, yeast, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Add warm water and olive oil; stir with a wooden spoon until well blended. Slowly mix in remaining 1 cup flour until dough holds together and isn't sticky.
• Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until doubled in size, about 3 hours.
• Dust a baking sheet with cornmeal.
• Punch dough down and stir in sun-dried tomatoes, basil, and garlic using a wooden spoon or with your hands. Form dough into a loaf and place on the prepared baking sheet. Let dough rise in a warm area of the kitchen for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake in the preheated oven until loaf is golden brown, about 30 minutes.

• Combine basil leaves, garlic, and red pepper flakes in a food processor or blender. Pulse 3 to 4 times. Slowly pour in canola oil and olive oil and blend until thick and creamy, about 30 seconds. Add additional oil if needed to make the spread smoother.
