So I decided to learn how to make Garlic Bread when I ate at Smokey Bones and the Garlic Bread there was made from regular Sliced Bread. I was extremely disappointed with the Garlic Bread I ordered from The Secret Garden in Abuja (pictures here), that's why I decided to share this quick and easy recipe.
The picture at the top is from a Restaurant, the one below is homemade |
So, my favourite type of Bread is sold at Audrey's Cakes and Bakes and it costs N250 for 9 buns. It's the same Bun from my S cubed post and my Tuna Sandwich Recipe. However, you can use any bread you deem fit.
Ingredients Needed
Parsley
Garlic
Bread
Butter
Three Crucial Ingredients - Garlic, Butter & Parsley
Extras- Nutmeg
Cinnamon
Technique - Melt the Butter in the Microwave for about 20 secondsAdd your chopped Parsley
Mince 1 or 2 cloves of garlic depending on how strong you want it
I usually use 1
Mix it all together and add a light dash of Nutmeg, a sprinkle of Cinamon & A pinch of Brown Sugar for a nice twist to your regular Garlic Bread.
Slice the bread in 2 or into small manageable chunks
Spread the mix on it
Pop it in the oven until golden brown (5-10 minutes depending on your oven)
Voila!
Have you made Garlic Bread before? What did you do differently? Will you try out this recipe? Tag me in pictures if you do :)
P.S. I put up my First Natural Hair Video, creating a 2 minute updo, watch it here.
I use olive oil instead of butter. And since I use regular sliced bread, I let it brown in a warm frying pan.
ReplyDeleteOh nice, will try it your way next time :)
DeleteLol that Garlic Bread from the restaurant just killed me sha. I'm going to try that recipe tomorrow but as I don't have access to Agege Bread (because, #struggs) I'm guessing I can use a Brioche loaf instead?
ReplyDeleteBtw, your Food Photography skills are amazing Detuke. Well done.
Loool, don't mind them! Lool, yes you can, I'm sure it'll come out really sweet. You can try using Sliced Bread too! Awww, Thank you Felix, Food Photography is my Favourite type of Photography, I'm glad you noticed!!

DeleteO girl one of my big sister's in church taught me how to make garlic bread! When I found out how easy it was I just always wanted to make some lool. I have not tried it with nutmeg or cinnamon I may need to give it a go! Thanks for posting :D
ReplyDeleteLoool, me too, I probably had a garlic bread making spree when I discovered this recipe :)
DeleteYou're welcome :)
The pictures are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love garlic bread so I'm definitely going to try this. Can it be done without parsley? Or is there a more accessible alternative to parsley?
Nigerian and Natural
Thanks Jen :D
DeleteIt can be done without parsley but I think Parsley is the icing on top of the garlic bread, I love the way it smells too!
Check out the Herb Substitution table on this link http://homecooking.about.com/library/weekly/blherbsub.htmhttp://homecooking.about.com/library/weekly/blherbsub.htm
I think Parsley is pretty accessible o, and I didn't even use up to N50 worth of it
salty garlic bread is even better
ReplyDeleteReally, never tried salty garlic bread before, sounds interesting
