Herbed Garlic Cheese Bread

Have you ever bought ready made garlic cheese bread at the shops?  I have and it is gross.  Sorry if I have offended anyone. I seriously doubt they even use real butter in it.  It smells garlicky, yes, but also hugely artificial!   I much prefer my own homemade Herbed Garlic Cheese Bread.

There is nothing artificial here.  It is nothing but pure ingredients.  Butter.  Freshly grated Parmesan Cheese . . .  not the already grated.  Grating your own is far superior.

Fresh garlic cloves . . .  peeled and minced.  I add three for a large loaf, but if you want more you could certainly add more.  I think three is the perfect mount however.

When I make it at this time of year I take advantage of the fresh herbs growing in the garden.  But of course if you cannot get the fresh herbs you can use dried, just cut the amounts in half.

You can use any kind of loaf with this really, but I like a nice crusty French loaf.  Not a baguette, but a full sized loaf. You can also use a sour dough loaf.   This is an organic French loaf. 

With just enough butter, just enough garlic, just enough herbs and just enough cheese. You can’t go wrong.

Cover with the aluminium foil, leaving a gap at the top so that the cheese mixture doesn’t touch the foil.  Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, open up the foil and return to the oven for a further 5 minutes.  Serve immediately.

This is so good I don’t know why you are still sitting there reading this.  You need to get to the store now and pick up that fresh loaf of bread so you can make this for supper tonight!  Bon Appetit!
