A French baguette is perfect for making incredible garlic bread. Just imagine: a crispy golden crust formed thanks to butter, viscous melted cheese, aromatic garlic and fresh dill. This baguette will disappear from the table before it has time to cool completely, don’t even doubt it.
What do you need to know to make the perfect garlic baguette in the oven?
You won’t have any difficulties during the cooking process, everything is very simple. But for a good result, we will give some tips. Do not turn on high heat and it is better not to leave the stove when melting butter. It can quickly burn out, then it can no longer be used.
We cut the cheese into slices, but if desired, you can grate it and place it in the cuts. You can also experiment. For example, mix several types of cheese: mozzarella and any hard cheese to taste. This also applies to greens; you can take another one too. But the main thing is that it is fresh, because dried herbs will not be as bright in the finished dish. This baked baguette with cheese and garlic will be an excellent addition to soup or fresh salad. That is, of course, if you don’t eat it right away.
If you want to practice baking, prepare fragrant bread with oatmeal and flax seeds; you don’t even need yeast here.
