Sage and Garlic Bread
This is the most wonderful tear and share bread, ideal for a lazy evening on the sofa with some nibbles and a glass of wine.
This is one of those recipes that once you make it, the bread will not last long. The sage and garlic butter is perfect as a combo for dinner. You can also add in some ham to make it more of a meal. The bread is already very lovely without the filling and makes a great sandwich base.
AND, it appears in the new Thermomix cookbook that is sure to be a best seller, Practice Mix Perfect, available for order now with FREE shipping, the ebook and a great fridge poster which serves as a handy reference guide for all of your basic Thermomix functions.
