Chef Tips

- Chop the garlic cloves into very small pieces so they roast without burning and turning bitter in the paste. - Keep the butter out of the fridge 40 minutes before using to achieve the right creaminess. - Make diagonal cuts without going through the base of the bread so the butter penetrates the crumb.

Variations

- Sprinkle 50g of grated mozzarella or parmesan cheese over the bread before taking it to the oven to gratinate. - Mix 1 coffee spoon of crushed Calabrian chili pepper into the paste for a mild spiciness. - Bake on the grill over medium heat without flames for 8 to 10 minutes.

Substitutions

- Italian bread can be substituted with 4 individual French breads or 1 medium rustic baguette. - The butter can be swapped for 100g of culinary margarine or 60ml of olive oil beaten with cream cheese. - Parsley can be replaced by chopped fresh chives or dried oregano.

How to Store

Consume soon after baking to enjoy the soft crumb and crispy crust. Leftovers can stay in the refrigerator in a closed container for up to 2 days, and should be reheated in the oven or in a dry skillet for 5 minutes before serving.

Can You Freeze It?

Pode ser congelado ainda cru, já com a pasta de manteiga espalhada no pão. Envolva em filme plástico e papel-alumínio por até 60 dias no freezer. Asse direto no forno a 180°C ainda congelado, somando 5 minutos ao tempo original.

What to Serve With

Serves as a traditional side dish for grilled meats, roasted picanha, sausages, and barbecue skewers. It also combines with green salads of crispy leaves, cold beer or artisanal sodas.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to prevent the garlic from becoming bitter in the bread?

Remove the green sprout from the center of the garlic clove before chopping, as it concentrates most of the bitter acidity.

Can I prepare the garlic butter paste the day before?

Yes, store the ready-made paste in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, letting it warm up before spreading on bread.

Why did my bread get rubbery instead of crispy?

This happens if the oven temperature is too low; bake at 180°C on the middle or upper rack of the baking sheet.

Can I make it in the air fryer?

Yes, bake medium slices of garlic bread at 180°C in the air fryer basket for about 6 to 8 minutes until golden brown.
