Smooth and Flawless Garlic Bread

Hi Friends, this one will go with your Pea Soup I sent out today!! SMOOTH AND FLAWLESS GARLIC BREAD The one time you want to use garlic powder instead of real cloves is in making garlic bread. Cloves can become overwhelming and make the bread taste bitter. Italians use olive oil instead of butter to make it, too--not only does this give an added dimension of flavor, it also keeps the bread from burning. 1 loaf French or Italian bread 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Cut bread into 1-inch slices without cutting through to the bottom of the loaf. Mix the olive oil, parsley, and garlic powder. Using your hands, spread it all over the bread, inside and out. Wrap it in aluminum foil and bake for about 15 minutes or until heated through. In the last 5 minutes of baking, open up the foil to make the bread crispier.
