Garlic Herb Bread

After 5 days in Berlin, we made it back to Bonn safely this evening.

This time around, the Berlin trip was full of Bs.

Baptism

BBQs

Beer

Not necessarily in that order.

More on Berlin to come later, for now, I’m off to do a couple more Bs.

Enjoy this previously planned post on a delicious bread that came easily be added to any BBQ this grilling season.

Although this may seem too simple to deserve a recipe, this half-homemade garlic bread is too good not to share.

 Simple, herby garlic bread- what could be better?

  I used an olive baguette, chives and parsley along with the standard soy butter, salt, garlic and spring onion.

Juicy chunks of olives really added to the taste.

Slice the bread diagonally without going all the way through.

  See? Still together although cut apart.

My food processor is on the fritz so I used a hand-held submersion blender to mix together the garlic herb butter.

  Spread the slices apart and generously smear the butter inside.

Lookin’ good.

Place the loaf on aluminum foil and wrap it up.

This can be cooked in the oven or even on the grill.

Such a lovely reward.

Ingredients

1 loaf French or Italian bread

4 Tablespoons butter, softened

1/2 small shallot or 1 spring onion

1 clove garlic

1/4 cup fresh herbs such as parsley, chives or rosemary

salt to taste

Method

1. Cut the bread diagonally into 1.5 inch slices being careful not to cut all the way through.
2. Add the butter, shallot, garlic, herbs and salt in a food process and combine until well mixed.
3. Spread the butter mixture between the bread slices, wrap the loaf in aluminum foil and bake at 500 F for 5-7 minutes.
