Hot garlic bread is unfailingly popular and really easy to make. You can also prepare it, ready for popping in the oven, ahead of time, and even freeze it (before baking).

SERVES 4–6

1 baguette or 1 small wholemeal loaf

3–4 garlic cloves

salt

125g (4oz) butter, softened

Set the oven to 200°C (400°F), gas mark 6. Slice the baguette or wholemeal loaf three-quarters of the way through into chunky slices – they should just hold together at the base. Cut the wholemeal loaf right through into thin slices.

Make the garlic butter by crushing the peeled cloves in a little salt, then mixing into the butter. Spread this butter on both sides of each slice of bread. Push the bread back into the original shape, then wrap in foil and place on a baking sheet in the oven. Bake for about 20 minutes or until it’s heated right through and crisp on the outside. Serve at once.
