Roasted Garlic-Parmesan Bread | Cook's Country

Here's how to get a smooth garlic flavor without a bitter aftertaste. For our best garlic bread recipe, we toasted a generous amount of whole garlic cloves to mellow their harshness and highlight their rich, sweet, nutty flavor. We used butter sparingly to give the bread ample richness without marring its texture with overwhelming greasiness. And we added a sparing amount of cheese for depth and complexity without interfering with the garlic flavor.

When roasted, garlic's sharp edges give way to a rounded, almost candied sweetness that is at once mellow and intense. We wanted to transform sharp, pungent raw garlic into balanced, sweet roasted garlic that was at once mellow and intense. We lopped off the top third of six heads of garlic to expose the flesh, drizzled them with olive oil, and sprinkled them with salt. We wrapped the heads tightly in a foil packet (to allow the heads to steam) and then roasted them at 400 degrees for an…

Garlic bread is a balancing act between the butter, garlic, and bread. Add cheese to the mix and things get complicated. We wanted cheese-topped garlic bread that was crisp on the outside but chewy within, buttery all the way through, and with no bitter garlic aftertaste.

How do you make the ultimate version of this classic? It’s a pressing issue. Garlic bread is simple to make but is often a disappointment to eat, with either too much or too little garlic flavor and bread that’s steamed and unevenly browned. For an evenly toasted version with garlic flavor that was prominent but not harsh, we briefly microwaved fresh garlic (grated to a paste with a rasp-style grater) and butter and combined it with garlic powder, which provided sweet, roasty notes. We then…

These fluffy, savory rolls are destined to become a new holiday favorite. UPDATE: This recipe has been slightly reformulated to be more failproof since its initial publication. The revision you see here was published in November of 2021. With this recipe, homemade rolls are worth it. We started by mixing together a simple yeasted dough. We chose to use a technique called autolyse, which helped the flour become fully hydrated, making for an easier dough to work with that rose more…

Take your garlic-bread game to the next level by using sweet roasted garlic. To make this simple classic, we used a store-bought loaf of Italian bread split in half lengthwise. Then, using a fork, we made a spread with softened butter, Parmesan cheese, our Roasted Garlic, and chopped fresh parsley. After evenly spreading the butter mixture on the bread, we baked the bread until it was golden brown, cut it into eight pieces, and served it warm.

A few small tricks separate adequate from awesome. For our Crispy Garlic Bread recipe, nothing could top a hearty Italian loaf when it came to getting thick, crunchy slices. Sandwich bread was too wimpy, and baguette slices were too dainty.Melted butter soaked into the bread too rapidly and made it soggy. Instead, we spread softened butter onto both sides of the slices. We preheated the baking sheet before lining up our garlic bread slices and popping them into the oven. This started the…

Pizza dough makes these pull-apart rolls a snap to make. Monkey bread—consisting of balls of sweet, cinnamon flavored dough baked into a round or a ring‐shaped loaf meant for pulling apart and eating with your hands—may be a favorite with kids, but that doesn’t mean it has to be sticky and tooth‐achingly sweet. This version keeps the crowd‐friendly pull‐apart shape but replaces the sweet stuff with the simple flavors of butter and garlic. The dead‐simple approach starts with pizza dough…

The best part about going to an “Italian” chain restaurant might be the Parmesan breadsticks. Our goal was to re-create these flavorful, golden breadsticks—and serve them warm and fresh at home. First, we wanted to ensure that the flavor of our breadsticks' namesake really came through. In addition to sprinkling Parmesan on top, we mixed some into the dough for a rich cheese taste that wasn't just an afterthought. Adding a small amount of onion powder to our dough enhanced the nutty taste of…
