- 20g Olive oil (approx. 2 Tbsp)

- 20g Olive oil (approx. 2 Tbsp)
- 2 Tbsp Sugar

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the star of our dish: fresh garlic! Since this is new-crop garlic, it’s not yet dried, making the skins incredibly easy to peel, which adds a fun element to the cooking process.
Step 2
To make delicious garlic bread, it’s best to measure and prepare all your ingredients beforehand. This makes the cooking process much smoother and faster.
Step 3
Rinse the freshly peeled whole garlic cloves under running water until clean. Then, place them on a cutting board and mince them finely with a knife. For garlic bread, minced garlic offers a much better texture and flavor compared to pureed garlic, making it significantly tastier.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, and sugar. Mix them thoroughly with a spoon or whisk until well combined. This creates your sweet and fragrant garlic sauce.
Step 5
Arrange the bread slices on a baking sheet. Place them in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 5 minutes to remove some moisture. This step helps ensure the bread becomes extra crispy.
Step 6
Generously spread the prepared garlic sauce evenly onto one side of each bread slice using a spoon. Make sure to cover the entire surface so the flavor penetrates well. Then, place the bread slices back onto the baking sheet with the sauce-covered side facing up.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated 180°C (350°F) oven for another 10 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy. Once done, sprinkle a pinch of dried parsley over the top for a beautiful garnish. Your crispy, flavorful garlic bread is now ready!
Step 8
Garlic is known for its potent antibacterial and antimicrobial properties, thanks to its allicin content, making it especially beneficial during the warmer months. See how fresh garlic and a simple loaf of bread transform into this delightful snack! Garlic bread’s irresistible crispy texture and savory-sweet flavor are guaranteed to be a hit every time. Enjoy this simple yet special treat.
