Here's a killer garlic bread recipe.

Grab a demi baguette from your grocery store's bakery. Cut it in half both lengthwise and crosswise. Throw them on a sheet pan, cut side up. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper. Put in the oven at 350 for 12 minutes or so, so that they're lightly toasted and the cut side is crisp. Remove from the oven.

This is where the fun begins. Peel a few cloves of fresh garlic... and rub that shit directly on the baguette. Keep running it across the bread until it is gone. One clove total for a balanced taste of garlic, two cloves total for a strong garlic journey, and one for each piece if you are become garlic destroyer of breath.

Garlic spread? Pre-made frozen garlic bread? All trash. Have this once and I guarantee you will never, ever make any other inferior substitute again.
