Garlic bread

Garlic bread is loved by everyone. It is an ideal starter or a snack at high tea. Why get the frozen ones when you can make it at home easily?? Here's the simplest and the only recipe used for making garlic bread irrespective of whether you get it frozen or from Pizza Hut or Domino's. The trick to getting the perfect garlic bread is the bread. It has to be a French loaf bread. The normal bread consumed on a daily basis is not ideal for this recipe because when you bake it. it will get soggy and ruin the whole feeling of garlic bread.

Ingredients
Garlic cloves to taste (Do not use more then 10 at a time)
Butter 2 tablespoons plus for greasing
Cheese 2 slices/ 1 cube
Salt to taste
Oregano to taste
Parsley to taste (Fresh or bottled can be used)
Chilli flakes to sprinkle

Method
On a low flame, melt butter. Muddle the garlic cloves. Add cheese and allow it to melt. Stir continuously till almost a homogeneous mixture is formed. Add the crushed garlic and sautee for a minute. Add salt, Oregano, Chilli flakes and Parsley. If you like the sauce to be slightly thin add a little milk. Cut the French loaf either from the middle or diagonally. If you cut the bread diagonally, you will get round pieces of the bread and if you cut it from the centre, then you'll get Domino;s style garlic bread fingers. Apply little butter on the bread and then apply the garlic mixture with the help of a butter knife. If you are making Domino's style garlic bread, then apply butter on the top lightly and sprinkle oregano and chilli flakes. If you are making the normal round shaped garlic bread then you need not coat it with extra butter. Pre heat the oven to 180C. Bake the bread for 10 to 12 minutes or till light brown and crisp. Serve hot.

PS: The garlic sauce once made can be stored in an air tight container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. Please do not deep freeze the sauce as the ice formed when condenses will ruin the taste. Also always thaw the sauce in quantities you need. Do not keep freezing and thawing the food at intervals as it will cause the food to spoil.
