Ingredients

6 large garlic cloves, chopped
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
1/4 cup chopped fresh oregano leaves
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup good olive oil
1 loaf ciabatta bread
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Place the garlic in the bowl of a food processor and process until minced. Add the parsley, oregano, salt and pepper and pulse twice.

Heat the olive oil in a medium saute pan and add the garlic mixture. Remove the pan from the heat.

Slice the ciabatta bread in half horizontally, and spread the butter on 1 half. Spread the garlic mixture on the other half of the bread, and put the halves together. Wrap the bread in aluminum foil.

Place the bread in the oven and bake for 5 minutes. Open the foil, and continue baking for an additional 5 minutes.

leftovers make great croutons
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

this was sooo good, but for a family of 4 there was alot left over.. after wrapping it up in a plastic bag, the next day it... was less than great. So I diced up the leftover bread and put it in a nonstick fry pan and toasted it up. It was a wonderful addition to my spinach salad. Read more

Breeze to make
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I modified this for half a loaf of ciabatta and used dried herbs. Delicious for surprisingly little effort and less expensive... than store-bought!Read more

Pretty good.
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I served this for a dinner party and everyone ate the bread and said they liked it. The flavor was a little overpowering... though and I couldn't really taste the soup I was serving it with for the herby taste in my mouth. I'm going to keep looking for the perfect garlic bread recipe. I usually love Ina's recipes and am still a huge fan. Read more

Everyone loved this!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We served this for a dinner party and everyone was waiting to taste this bread simply from the aroma. When they finally... tasted it, they weren't disappointed. Ina's not kidding - when she says take the pan off the burner, it means that leaving it on the burner will start to fry the garlic. If that happens, though, no worries. It's still great. I found the best way to prepare this dish is to mix the garlic, parsley, oil and oregano mix in with room temperature butter. Then, slightly chilled, you can spread it evenly over the bread and keep the loaf refrigerated for hours if you need to. Then a few minutes in the oven (you might need to separate the halves to heat) and you've got garlic bread that's as good as anything I've ever eaten in a restaurant. Better.Read more

Too many herbs
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I followed the recipe and all I could taste was the parsley and oregano. It tasted more like those olive oil dipping sauces... than garlic bread. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't garlic bread either, so it gets 1 star.Read more

Surprisingly good leftovers
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I agree that half a cup of oil was a bit much and freshly grated Parmesan was a nice addition. I was surprised to learn... that left over slices of this garlic bread are still delectable when reheated in the toaster for over a week. Read more
