Bit tacky for a food blog? Hmm, perhaps. Give me home-made pizza any day. But I must admit, I’ve been known to visit Pizza Hut. I also happen to be rather partial to their garlic bread. I discovered that the elusive secret to their recipe is plenty of seasoning a good pinch of dried oregano. And you know what? It tastes almost identical to me. Even if you’re not a Pizza Hut fan, give it a try, it’s the best garlic bread you will ever taste! I never make it any other way.
Ingredients
- 1 baguette (or 4 small rolls)
- 150g butter
- 1 clove garlic
- dried oregano
- salt & pepper
Method
- Make sure your butter is really soft. To achieve this, just leave your butter out of the refrigerator at night.
- Make a paste from the clove of garlic and some rock salt, then add to the butter. Use a mortar and pestle for this, or grind on a chopping board with a knife. It’s very important not to have huge lumps of garlic in your butter.
- Season with a little salt and plenty of freshly ground black pepper and a shake of dried oregano. Mix well.
- Slice your baguette and spread each slice liberally with the garlic butter. Toast under a hot grill until golden. It will smell and taste amazing.
