>I need a good and simply recipe for Garlic bread

Here's one direct from my BIL (Many, Many thanks Brent Morgan). I made it
in fact just this weekend. All guests commented profusely and
enthusiastically about it.

1 large loaf (about 2 lbs) dense Italian bread (I make my own) Football
shape is ideal.

24 tbsp butter

3/4 large bulb garlic or 1 1/2 small bulbs

Melt the butter.

Peel garlic and mince. Fry in about 2 tbsp of the butter until the smell
becomes slightly toasted. Stir into the melted butter. Set in the
refrigerator.

Once the butter is congealed but not completely firm, stir again to fully
mix in the garlic.

Split the loaf in half as if for a giant sandwich (i.e. horizontally along
the long axis. Then score each half deeply into segments.

Spread the butter mixture evenly over the halves.

Set in a shallow roasting pan in a preheated 425F oven and bake for about 5
minutes - enough to get the butter well-melted into the bread and heat the
bread through. Now, turn on the broiler and broil briefly, until the top is
good and brown, like an excellent toast. Set on a dished plate. Pour any
butter that dripped into the roasting pan over the pieces. Serve.
