Garlic Bread

Who doesn't love garlic bread? It's the perfect accompaniment to so many dishes, and it's so easy to make! One of my friends, Courtney, makes really good garlic bread (she's Italian), and this recipe is based on her's. However, she uses about twice as much garlic, which you can do if you'd like, but mine is more mild. She also tops hers with Parmesan cheese, which I unfortunately ran out of. It's not necessary, but it makes it extra delicious :).
First, take a loaf of bread. You can use whatever kind of bread you want, as long as it's not already sliced. I got an Italian loaf from the local grocery store. Cut it in half lengthwise, so that each piece is long and thin.

Now, melt half a stick of butter, and then mix in three minced garlic cloves.

Brush the butter over the bread, making sure to cover each side.

I like to sprinkle it with a little dried parsley. If you're going to use cheese, sprinkle it on during this step.

Now, put the two halves back together, and slice the bread into two-inch wide sections, keeping the loaf together. Transfer the loaf to a large piece of aluminum foil.

Wrap the foil around the bread and roll up the edges.

Bake for 10 minutes, and then enjoy! It's so easy :). I ate mine with some ravioli. Yummmers.
