Jacques Pepin was once asked about his last meal that he would like to have with family. His answer was good bread and butter. Bread and butter is something that’s hard to beat. There are so many things that one can do with two simple but robust ingredients like butter and bread. To me, garlic bread is genius. Garlic bread is something everyone loves. Our family ain’t different. We love buttery spiced garlic bread. Its a Friday dinner favorite at our place. Its so simple to make and it so heavenly.
Here is how to do an awesome, easy, homemade “Pan fried Garlic Bread Recipe”. The important thing that makes garlic bread flavorful is the garlic butter. Lets do our home made, from scratch, garlic butter. We will be using unsalted butter for this recipe. I always use unsalted butter in my cooking as I can control the amount of salt that goes into the dish. Its very important that the butter be at room temperature. The “spread-ability” of butter is better if its at room temperature.
To the butter add in the aromatics. Finely minced garlic, Italian seasoning powder (any store bought variety would do fine), chilli flakes and salt.
Finely mix everything to a smooth paste and home-made garlic butter is ready. This butter can be stored in the refrigeratior for upto a week and used when required.
Cut up some crusty bread into sandwich slices.
Apply about a teaspoon of butter on each side of the bread slice. So that’s two teaspoons for each slice of bread.
Heat a griddle and place the buttered bread slices and toast on low-medium flame until the butter has melted and the toast is golden. Garlic burns fast. So keep the flame at low-medium at all times.
Enjoy!
