Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Rustic artisan bread
- 2 large cloves Garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Sea salt
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, finely chopped)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the artisan bread into thick slices, about 1 inch (2.5 cm) each.
Arrange the bread slices on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake the bread slices in the oven for 5-6 minutes, or until they are lightly toasted and golden brown on the edges.
While the bread is toasting, peel the garlic cloves and cut them in half widthwise to create a flat surface.
Remove the toasted bread from the oven and allow it to cool slightly for about 1 minute.
Rub the cut side of the garlic cloves over the surface of each warm bread slice. Adjust the amount of garlic to taste – a lighter rub gives a subtle flavor, while a heavier rub gives a stronger garlic kick.
Drizzle the extra-virgin olive oil evenly over the garlic-infused bread slices.
Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over each slice for added flavor.
For an optional garnish, sprinkle the finely chopped parsley over the bread slices.
Serve immediately while warm, pairing with soup, salad, or your favorite Italian entrée.
