Garlic Bread

Perfect Garlic Bread
2 loaf ciabatta bread (we used bread with extra garlic baked into the bread, but any will work)
2 tbsp finely minced garlic
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 stick butter
1/4 tsp dried oregano

Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. Melt butter and oil and add garlic. Cook over low heat for 15 minutes, taking care not to burn. Season with salt, pepper, and oregano.

Cut the ciabatta bread lengthwise into two large halves, doubling the surface area. Carefully, with a spoon, drizzle the garlic butter and oil all over the bread, spreading the softened garlic as necessary and the entire loaf is evenly coated.

Bake for 15-20 minutes at 375 degrees until the top is just golden brown and crunchy. Take care not to burn.

Cut into individual pieces and serve warm with any Italian dish.
