Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 bread loaf (, fairly flat (rather than a tall loaf, Note 1))
  • 125 g / 1 stick salted butter ((or unsalted + 3/4 tsp salt))
  • 3 garlic cloves (, very finely chopped (do not use crusher or jar, Note 2))
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped parsley (, optional)

Instruction

  • Preheat BBQ to medium high.
  • Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium high heat.
  • Add garlic and salt, stir until garlic is LIGHT golden and salt is dissolved.
  • Immediately remove from heat, set aside for for few minutes to let garlic infuse into butter.
  • Split the bread in half lengthwise. Or use thick individual slices of bread.
  • Spoon just over half the butter onto the cut face of the bread, avoiding the garlic bits. Brush a bit of butter on the other side.
  • Place bread cut face down and cook for 3 - 5 minutes or until you have crusty edges, then flip.
  • Brush away any burnt garlic bits, then baste on the remaining garlic butter. Garlic bits are mainly for flavour infusion but feel free to put them on too, great texture!
  • Once underside is crusty (3 min or so), remove, sprinkle with parsley, cut and serve!
