Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 F.

Cut slices down the length of bread loaf at 1-inch intervals, without cutting all the way through.

Rub slices and top of loaf with cut sides of garlic halves. Mince garlic.

Wrap bread in foil, leaving top partially uncovered. Bake until heated through, about 15 minutes.
