How to Make Baked Garlic With French Bread
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Trim the tops off 4 heads of garlic, removing about 1/4 inch, leaving the cloves intact.
- Remove any excess dry skins from the garlic heads.
- Place garlic heads in a small oven-safe dish (approximately 4x6 inch baking dish or small crock).
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil or melted butter over the garlic heads.
- Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Cover the dish loosely with foil.
- Reduce oven temperature to 275°F (135°C).
- Bake for 20 minutes covered.
- Remove foil and bake for another 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until garlic is very soft and golden brown.
- During the last 10 minutes of baking, add 1 (1-inch thick) slice of French bread to the oven to warm.
- To serve: Spread warmed French bread with 2 tablespoons of softened cream cheese or butter. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves onto the bread and spread the creamy garlic mixture over the bread.
