I’m pretty sure most of you have
been to Pizza Hut before. And I bet 90% of you do the same thing that I do
whenever I’m there; ordering starters before the pizza. And I’m 100% sure the
starters are GARLIC BREAD. Did I guess it right? Man! David Blaine gotta run
for his money!
Yes Sir and Madam, today we’ll be
making GARLIC BREAD.
No no, don’t worry;
this one is made on a fry pan instead of an oven. You know, cause, it’s easier
for most of you (I know not everyone has an oven in their household!)
The great thing about this dish
is, we’ll be turning the Butter into Clarified Butter, which tasted better, and
also cooks better! Making this dish a top notch!
=====================
For 1 servings of 6, you
will need:
1 medium sized Baguette. Baguette is a traditional French bread. It
has a thick crust with a soft interior. What’s not to like?
2 tbsp of Butter. Preferrably Salted
kind. If you’re using Unsalted, you
will need to add a bit of Salt to
compensate.
6 Cloves of Garlic
2 tsp of Dried Parsley
=====================
Ready? Here We Go!
Step 1 – Get a pan, turn up the heat to medium. Meanwhile,
peel and smash the Garlic, as if you
would smash the head of your enemy (HAHA!). Don't forget to cut the Baguette too!
 |
| Never liked the tip. Ugh. |
 |
| GARLIC. SMASH |
 |
| If you got a bread knife, please use it. It'll give you the best cut. EVER. |
Step 2 – Measure the butter
and put it into the pan. Add the Garlic
and let it cook away. Sorry, I meant melt away!
 |
| Gotta love the splashes! |
Step 3 – The melting process should take around 30 seconds (room temperature butter), to 1-2 minutes (cold butter). It just so happens that i'm using unsalted butter at this point, so that's why i'm adding a touch of Salt to the pan. Careful, not too much. Nobody likes overly salty Garlic Bread!

| Salty benefit |
Step 4 - If you notice, there will be
white scum forming on top. Grab a spoon, carefully pick it up, and throw it
away. It poses no use. Pay attention to the heat, and stir it often to avoid
burning the Garlic. You should smell lovely Garlic Butter by now! After it has
reached to the point where the garlic has cook off its aroma completely,
transfer it into a shallow dish to cool.
 |
| White scum? BE GONE |
 |
| YUM! |
Step 5 - Add the Dried Parsley
into the Butter, mix lightly.
Step 6 – Heat your non-stick pan on medium low heat. Once hot,
carefully dip both sides of the bread to the butter, and cook it. We will leave
it be for about 5-6 minutes on each
sides! Once golden brown, it’s done!
 |
| The Flip! |
 |
| Golden brown and ready! |
Step 6 – SERVE!
Say bye-bye to Pizza Hut. This thing is so-so-so awesome!
Give this a go!
Cheers
