Until a few years ago I didn’t like garlic at all – now I love it, and would eat it with almost anything.

Here’s a great garlic bread recipe that sounds difficult at first, but once you get the hang of it, you’ll realize it’s quite easy to prepare. This bread dresses up Italian or Mediterranean-type meals, and it disappears fast from the table, so if you’re expecting guests, make sure to prepare two loaves!
