Homemade Garlic Bread

Garlic Bread in Marathi
Serves: 10 pieces
Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
1 ft french bread loaf
Kosher salt / normal salt to taste
2 to 3 pinches of dry herbs (I used Rosemary and Oregano)
Butter spread:
4 tbsp Butter
1 tbsp Olive oil
5 cloves of garlic, minced
Method:
1) Preheat the oven at 400 F.
2) Cut the bread loaf horizontally into two halves.
3) To make garlic butter spread, melt butter in the microwave for 10 to 15 seconds. Do not let it boil. It won't taste good. Then add olive oil and minced garlic to the melted butter and mix nicely.
If you don't have microwave, use the stove-top. Heat a small saucepan, add olive oil and make it warm. Turn off the heat. Add butter and minced garlic and mix well.
4) Spread the garlic butter on the inside (white) area of cut bread and also on the two vertical sides. Crush the herbs and sprinkle all over it. Bake for 5 to 8 minutes or until the edges get lightly brown. Sprinkle salt to taste.
Take a cutting board. Put the baked bread, buttered side down and slice it with a sharp knife. Serve hot with tomato pasta sauce.
Tips:
1) You can slice the bread into strips before applying the spread. However, you will need to make extra garlic butter spread to apply on the two vertical sides of each slice. Also, it will taste too much buttery.
