Step 1

Combine the garlic and herbs in a bowl. Pour in the oil, season with salt and pepper. Mix the ingredients together with a spoon.

Cut a slit down the middle of the loaf of bread, pour the garlic oil into the pocket, pressing with the back of a spoon to get the flavors into the bread.

Wrap the bread in aluminum foil. Roast the garlic bread on a grill or bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 5 minutes until the outside is nice and crusty. Hand tear into pieces for serving.

This recipe yields 6 to 8 servings.
