Garlic Bread Toast
A super easy recipe of making garlic bread toast on a tawa or frying pan and without the oven.
Servings: 2 to 3
Ingredients
- half a loaf of bread or 8 slices each of 0.75 inches - (any bread of your choice)
- 2 tablespoon butter, salted or unsalted
- 3 to 4 medium sized garlic - minced or grated
- red chili flakes as required
- dry oregano as required or your favorite herbs
- black pepper as required - optional
- salt as required, to be added if using unsalted butter
Instructions
preparation for garlic bread
- Slice the loaf of bread in slices having 0.75 inches width.
- Then halve each slice.
- Take 2 tbsp softened butter (butter at room temperature) in a bowl. I used salted butter (amul butter). If using unsalted butter, then add a bit of salt.
- Grate or mince 3 to 4 medium garlic directly into the butter. Instead of garlic, you can also add garlic chives.
- Mix the grated garlic very well with the butter.
- Now spread the garlic butter evenly on all the slices. You can be more generous with the butter if you want.
making garlic bread toast
- Heat a griddle or tava on a high flame.
- When the tawa becomes hot, reduce the flame to a low or medium. Then place the bread slices.
- Cover the bread slices with a lid.
- Keeping the slices covered, roast till light golden and a bit toasted at the edges.
- If you want a more crisp toasted texture, then you can toast the bread slices for some more minutes.
- Once the garlic bread has got lightly toasted from the edges, sprinkle your favorite herb or spice from top. I added red chili flakes and some dried oregano.
- Serve garlic bread toast hot or warm.
Notes
For baking in the oven - preheat oven at 200 degrees celsius. Keep on top rack. Bake for 4 to 6 minutes. No need to brown or toast the bread.
