Lazy Man's Garlic Bread

Garlic bread, consists of bread topped with garlic and olive oil or butter and may include additional herbs, like oregano. It is then either grilled or broiled until toasted, or baked in a conventional or bread oven.

I call this a lazy man’s recipe because here we use readymade bread and ready garlic butter.

Preparation time: 10 minutes

Cooking time: 10 minutes

Serves: 2-3 people

Ingredients	Quantity
Bread slices	5
For spread
Butter (soften butter before using)	4tsp
Garlic paste	1tsp
Pepper powder	½  tsp
Oregano	½ tsp
Garlic powder (optional)	to taste
Salt	to taste
Cheese Powder (optional)	to garnish

Method

Mix all the ingredients for spread in a bowl (check for salt).

Spread the paste on the bread slices (1/2tsp on each side). Sprinkle extra garlic powder and oregano if needed. Add grated cheese.

Preheat oven to 180 degrees for 5 minutes and then place bread slice on the microwave tray and place the tray on the grill and set for 2 minutes. Check for the crispy side and soft center. If required you can grill longer depending on your liking.

Making garlic bread on tava

Heat tava for 1 minute on high flame lower flame to low and place bread slice on one side, keep for 30 seconds to a minute and flip and fry on the other side. Add cheese on top side and close lid if you wish to have melted cheese. Fry on a low flame to achieve a crispy bottom and melted cheese on top.

You can garnish bread slice with a pinch of cheese powder just before serving.

Points to remember

·        Instead of using the homemade spread you can use Amul Butter with Garlic and Herbs. It has all the herbs, salt and pepper powder.
