The transporting garlic butter aroma of this crusty, cheesy, loaf will likely whisk you to old school Italian restaurants of yore (the kind that promise red-and-white checkered tablecloths and straw-covered bottles of chianti). It’s that fragrant.
Chopped parsley adds bright flavor and eye appeal, but you can also use a teaspoon or two of chopped rosemary or oregano. To achieve the accordion-style slices, you’ll cut the bread down to the bottom of the loaf–but not through–so the base holds the buttery rewards.
Ingredients
-
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
-
3-4 garlic cloves, grated
-
2 teaspoons Onion Butter seasoning
-
½ cup chopped Italian parsley
-
Generous ⅓ cup grated Parmesan
-
1 loaf of crusty Italian bread (such as semolina or a rustic country loaf)
Directions
Prepare your grill for one-zone cooking and build a medium fire (or heat your oven to 350℉).
In a small bowl, use a fork or spatula to combine the butter, garlic, Onion Butter seasoning, parsley, and Parmesan until combined.
Use a serrated knife to cut the loaf 1-inch slices, cutting to the base of the loaf but not all the way through. Use a knife or offset spatula to coat each slice of the bread with the butter mixture.
Wrap the bread in heavy-duty foil, and place it on the grates over the heat (or in the oven) for about 15 minutes, until the loaf is very fragrant. If you’re preparing the bread on the grill, rotate the loaf as needed for even cooking, and peek at the bottom of the loaf after 10 minutes to ensure it’s not getting too dark. Unwrap the top of the bread (leaving the bottom of the loaf wrapped to contain any melted butter) and bake for another 5-10 minutes, until the crust is deeply golden and crisp, and serve immediately.
