Gramps' Garlic Bread

Photo by Pat G. http://herbcountryliving.com/index.php?p=2_32

My Gramps made this recipe for me all my young life and I proudly carry that torch today for my family. If you're one of those midlandic weirdos that doesn't like garlic this is not a recipe for you.

Ingredients

1-1.5 Heads of garlic (crushed/minced)
Stick of Butter
4 TBSP Olive oil
Sweet or Sourdough Batard (Gramps used a Safeway bakery sweet loaf)
2-3 TBSP Minced Fresh Italian Parsley (It has to be fresh or fugetaboutit)
Salt

1 Loaf

Directions

0. Preheat oven to 375F
1. Put all of the non-bread ingredients into a ceramic cereal-sized bowl.
2. Nuke it for 90 seconds or so. You actually want to cook the garlic in the butter/oil a tiny bit so that it's no longer too spicy in flavor.
3. Cut the loaf in half longwise as though you were making one big sandwich with it.
4. Lube that loaf with the schmelted garlic slurry. I use a spoon to evenly distribute garlic chunkage, parsley and buttah.
5. Bake it for 15 minutes or until it's browned and a bit crunchy.
6. Cut crosswise into the loaf halves, 1.25inch wide strips.
7. Serve hot/warm and try not to eat the whole loaf by yourself
