Garlic Oil Olive Pasta

OMGsplosion likes Garlic Bread.jpg

Garlic bread typically consists of bread topped with garlic and olive oil (preferably extra virgin olive oil). It is often used as a simple accompaniment to pasta and other Italian dishes. It is then either grilled or broiled until toasted or baked in an oven.

It is often made using a bread such as a baguette or Italian bread: Bread is sliced towards the bottom, but kept in one piece. The bread is then brushed with olive oil. After, minced garlic or garlic powder is spread between the slices. The bread is then baked in an oven. Alternatively, the bread can be cut into individual slices and covered with the oil or butter individually.

A modern variation on the recipe tops the garlic bread with a variety of cheeses, often mozzarella, Cheddar or feta. Mexican-style variations often include topping the garlic bread with cheese, salsa and chili peppers. Many restaurants prefer using melted butter in place of the olive oil.

Garlic bread has appeared on US restaurant menus since 1947, if not earlier.

Frozen garlic bread was developed in the 1970s by Cole's Quality Foods in Michigan.

Over the years, it has been debated whether garlic bread is a variation of bruschetta or if it is an American creation (Texas toast).
