Roasted Garlic Bread

Ingredients

3 heads garlic

2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil

1 (1 pound) loaf Italian bread

1 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)

2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese(optional)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 175c. Slice the tops off garlic heads so the tip of each clove is exposed. Place garlic on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Bake until garlic is soft, about 30 minutes.

Set the oven to broil. Slice the loaf of bread in half horizontally, and place cut-side up on a baking sheet.

Squeeze the cloves of garlic from their skins into a medium bowl. Stir in the butter, parsley and Parmesan cheese until well blended. Spread onto the cut sides of the bread.

Broil bread until toasted, about 5 minutes.
