hi guys. while i have been following the thread with great zest and interest, i'd like to share something with everyone that my good friend ana sent me. i made this last night and it was fantastic. so good i'd like to share with you, just to serve as an intermission between rounds. it tastes absolutely heavenly and i think everyone should bake a loaf while composing their next email. just to have some comfort food nearby.
------------------------- While this easy version of garlic bread is fine just as it is, it is also very flexible. Consider mixing chopped fresh basil or sun-dried tomatoes into butter mixture before using. 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 cloves garlic, minced 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 loaf (1 pound) hearty Italian bread 1. Heat oven to 3500. Mix butter, olive oil, garlic and salt in small bowl. 2. Slice bread into 18 pieces, about 3/4-inch thick, without cutting through bottom crust, so slices stay attached. Spread butter mixture, dividing evenly between slices, about 1 teaspoon. Wrap bread tightly in foil. 3. Bake in 3500 oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until butter is melted and bread is hot. Unwrap carefully and serve hot. ---------------------------- okay. game on! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
