Butter-free Garlic Bread

Back home? Check.
Adjusted to the time difference? Check.
Started my summer job? Check.
Unpacked? umm, maybe. . . maybe as in, no.

Made my favourite garlic bread? Most certainly.

This is one of my favourite ways to serve bread alongside dinner because it's garlic bread that's nice and garlicky without giving you the feeling that you've just eaten a tablespoon of butter after one slice. So if you do indeed like the whole spoon-of-butter feeling, then I apologize, but please do give this a try. I might just be able to convert you.

Butter-free Garlic Bread
Yield: 1 loaf

• 1 French baguette (or any crusty bread)
• 2 cloves garlic, peeled
• butter (optional)

1. Preset oven to 400F
2. Slice loaf and toast in oven
3. Rub garlic cloves directly on the surface of the bread (as if you were trying to erase a mistake with your garlic eraser)
4. Serve with butter on the side so your guests can use as much or as little as they wish
