Well - how do you like it????


Real butter; now - you can roast your garlic and smash it into the butter, or you can mince your garlic and add. That is a basic way of making it. If desired, you can add 1 t. oil (soy, olive, veggie, etc.) (that is for 1/2 c. butter) and fresh minced parsley, fresh minced onions, shallots or chives and a twist (from your pepper mill) of black pepper. If your butter is unsalted you can add salt.

I sometimes will grate Pecorino Romano on top; you can use Parmesan, Romano, Asiago, Fontina - or a blend which is very good also.

Wanna laugh??? Sometimes I will put anchovies on top!!

So you see - it's a great recipe to play with!

Thanks Mama Mangia for the recipe. But I have one question. What about the bread? I mean I have to soak the bread in the butter or what?

You were planning to make the bread from scratch? You are an ambitious one. :) You can purchase a nice loaf of French bread, for example. Slice it thickly and apply the ingredients Mama Mangia suggested. Instant garlic bread. Tic Tacs to follow. :)

No I wasn't planning to make the bread. I just wanted to ask that do I have to soak the bread in ingredients or just apply it on bread. Thanks. you solved my problem.

But whenever I eat garlic bread in pizza hut it doesnt looks like that ingredients are applied on the bread. I think they bake their bread themselves. What do you think?

I'm sure they do bake it themselves, Shabs. Or they have commercial bakers who are contracted to bake it for them offsite. Or, they use frozen bread dough and spice it up a bit. I will post some of their "copy cat" recipes for you in another thread. :)

Last week a co-worker brought guacamole and a bowl of crunchy, puffy star things for lunch. They were so good I wanted to make some, but he said they were from Mexico. He informed me that they had a similiar thing called Fryums in India.

Shabs? Anyone? What do you know about these? They were spicy and very tasty. I'd never seen nor heard of them before.
