Herb Salad Garlic Bread
One up from plain old glorious garlic bread, herbed salad garlic bread is a table showstopper and is beyond delicious. If you make your own sourdough first, we are talking all kinds of crazy goodness. You can never regret doing the online Lazy Sourdough course. Believe me.
We do love our garlic in this house, and although we are going hard with 10 cloves for this recipe, by cooking half of them, you lose that intensity that would otherwise be too much. Just make sure everyone has a piece. (Then you are all on the same page, garlic breath wise!)
