Description

This Cheesy Garlic Bread is life changing: buttery, garlicky, cheesy and crispy without being heavy - exactly how it should be.


Ingredients

Roasted Garlic:

  • 8-10 garlic cloves
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Pinch of salt

Garlic Butter Custard:

  • Roasted garlic from above
  • ½ cup butter, melted(113g)
  • 1 egg
  • ¼ cup milk (60g)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Assembly:

  • 12 King's Hawaiian Original Hawaiian Sheet Rolls, kept in the full sheet form (or replace with a French baguette of similar size)
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Chopped parsley and chili flakes for serving

Instructions

Roasted Garlic:

  • Pre-heat oven to 400F
  • Mix the peeled garlic cloves in the olive oil and salt. Transfer to a mini oven safe pot with a lid (or cover with foil) and bake for ~20 minutes until they are soft and golden
  • Mash with a fork and set aside

Garlic Butter Custard:

  • Add the mashed roasted garlic, melted butter, egg, milk, salt, paprika and parsley to a bowl
  • Thoroughly whisk to combine

Assembly:

  • Change the oven temperature to 350F after roasting the garlic
  • Use a sharp knife to divide the sheet of bread rolls into 2 halves (as seen in pictures above). Place on a large baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes until light golden and crispy
  • Transfer the garlic butter custard to a larger pan. Carefully dip the baked bread sheets / loaves into the garlic butter custard, getting them well coated on all sides
  • Place the bread back on the baking sheet and bake at 350F for 15-18 minutes until golden
  • Cover the bread with the shredded mozzarella cheese. Change the oven setting to broil / grill and broil for ~5 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and chili flakes. Slice up, serve and enjoy!
