Roasted Garlic & Fresh Baked Bread

Roasted Garlic & Fresh Baked Bread

Nothing is better than roasted garlic and fresh bread. This is so easy you will be amazed how your family or guest will be so impressed by this simple endulgement.

Take a whole head of garlic cut the pointy tips off leaving the skin on. Take a square of foil and put the garlic head in the center drizzle with olive oil. Crack black pepper over top. Put one finger on the top of the garlic head and fold the foil up to meet your finger. The foil creates a nice steam that escapes out the hole you made with your finger (does this make any sense??)

Put the garlic on a cookie sheet and put in the cold oven. Then turn the oven to 350 check it after about 10-15 minutes. The garlic should be easily pierced with a fork. You may need to cook another 10 minutes or so.

When is nice and soft you can smash it and serve just like that or add a dash of fine balsamic. Serve with bread. Awesome!!
