Garlicky Bread

I think it is safe for me to declare that I love bread. There is no single greater food thrill for me than a hot and fresh loaf just begging to be chewed, dipped and savored. Except cheese. But I digress.

So that I can have bread on nights when I don’t have time to make bread, I bake extras of my French Bread and freeze to pop out at a later time. One way I love to enjoy this bread is by dressing it up in garlic and butter and pairing it with a good pasta dish and a good glass of wine. A fresh loaf from your local bakery works with this too if time is short and you need a garlic bread fix now!
