| Step | Details |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). |
| 2 | Take a piece of foil and place the whole garlic cloves on it, generously coating them with olive oil. |
| 3 | Wrap the foil tightly around the garlic cloves. |
| 4 | Bake the wrapped garlic in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes to 1/2 hour, or until the cloves are soft, sweet-smelling, and golden brown. |
| 5 | Meanwhile, split the bread lengthwise and remove any excess dough. |
| 6 | In a bowl, mash the roasted garlic cloves with the butter, mayonnaise, dried oregano, dried basil, parsley flakes, and salt, creating a flavorful garlic butter mixture. |
| 7 | Spread the cut surfaces of the bread generously with the prepared garlic butter mixture. |
| 8 | Sprinkle the surfaces with grated Parmesan cheese and layer the bottom half with slices of mozzarella cheese. |
| 9 | Press the two halves of the bread together and wrap the loaf tightly in foil. |
| 10 | Place the wrapped garlic bread in the oven and bake at 350ยฐF (175ยฐC) until the outer crust is crispy and the cheese is melted, approximately 15 minutes. |
| 11 | Once baked, allow the garlic bread to cool slightly before cutting it into thick vertical slices. |
| 12 | Enjoy your Amazing Garlic Bread as it is, with a crispy exterior and moist, chewy interior. Alternatively, for a crisper texture, you can bake the bread open-faced on a cookie sheet, ensuring to add mozzarella cheese to both sides. |
| 13 | Pro tip: You can prepare the garlic butter mixture ahead of time and refrigerate it until ready to use. It also makes a heavenly topping when melted over hot pasta! |
