Cheaters Garlic Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven (or broiler) to 350 degrees.
• Lay out each piece of white bread and cut off crusts (I like to cut off the vertical crusts and leave the horizontal pieces of crust on but it really doesn't matter.).
• Cut each piece of bread in half vertically (longways).
• Set bread aside and discard crusts.
• In a small bowl mix together butter, garlic powder, Italian Seasoning and salt to taste ( if needed).
• Spread butter mixture thinly over one side of each slice of bread.
• Place bread buttered side up on a small baking sheet and place in the broiler.
• Let bread toast for about 3 or 4 minutes or until golden brown (be careful not to burn the bread!).
• Remove from broiler and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Halve a loaf of Italian bread lengthwise, then crosswise. Mix 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1 clove minced garlic and 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano; brush on the cut sides of the bread and toast 10 minutes at 400 degrees F. Mix 2 tablespoons grated parmesan and 1 cup each shredded asiago and mozzarella; sprinkle on the bread and bake until melted, about 15 more minutes.

Steps:

• Arrange a rack in the center of oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
• Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter is golden and the garlic is very fragrant, about 3 minutes.
• Slice the bread in half lengthwise. Liberally brush the crust with the garlic butter. Turn the bread cut-side up. Slice each loaf crosswise at 2-inch intervals without cutting all the way through, making "pull-apart" garlic bread. Liberally brush the cut sides of the bread with more garlic butter, spreading any remaining garlic evenly over top. You should use all the garlic butter. Carefully transfer the bread to a rimmed baking sheet.
• Sprinkle the loaves with the Parmesan and a pinch of salt and bake until the edges of the bread are a deep golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Top with the parsley. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400ºF.
• Use serrated knife to make 24 diagonal cuts in top of baguette, being careful to not cut through to bottom of baguette. Place, cut sides up, on baking sheet.
• Mix butter, garlic, herbs and pepper until blended; spread onto cut sides of baguette. Fill with cheese. Spread top of baguette with any remaining butter mixture.
• Bake 7 to 8 min. or until cheese is melted.

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast and sugar in 1/4 cup warm water in a large bowl. Let stand until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 15 minutes. Add flour, 1 1/4 cup warm water, 2 tablespoons softened butter, and 1 tablespoon salt; knead until dough is well mixed and soft, about 3 minutes.
• Roll dough into a 2-foot log. Cut into 16 equal pieces, about 1 1/2 inches wide. Knead each piece and shape into a 6-inch breadstick. Arrange breadsticks on a baking sheet; let rise for about 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Mix 3 tablespoons melted butter and garlic powder together in a bowl; brush onto breadsticks.
• Bake breadsticks in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Immediately brush with remaining melted butter mixture; sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375F degrees.
• Cut slices down the length of bread loaf at 1 inch intervals, without cutting all the way through.
• Rub slices and top of loaf with cut sides of garlic.
• Mince garlic.
• Combine butter, garlic, parsley and Parmesan.
• Spread butter mixture between bread slices and on top of loaf.
• Wrap bread in foil leaving top partially uncovered.
• Bake until heated through, about 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Measure the flour, yeast and salt into a large bowl. Mix 300ml hand-hot water with the oil and honey in a jug, then pour into the dry mix, stirring all the time to make a soft dough.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, then knead for 5 mins until the dough no longer feels sticky, sprinkling with a little more flour as you need it. Now stretch it to fit the Swiss roll tin.
• Mix the garlic with the butter, then dot over the dough. Sprinkle over the cheese and snip over the thyme. Cover the bread with lightly oiled cling film, then leave in a warm place to rise for 40 mins.
• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Remove the cling film, then bake the bread for 30 mins until golden and risen. Leave to cool for 10 mins, then cut into 12 pieces and serve.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°F.
• Combine all ingredients except bread.
