Garlic Bread


  • Serves- 6 People
  • Cooking time- 15-30 minutes including preparation
  • Cost- £1.70
  • Difficulty- 3/10 (Easy)
  • Verdict- 7/10 so long as it doesn't burn. Makes your breath stink


  • 1 Large uncut loaf or thick French stick cut into 6" lengths
  • 1/4 packet of Butter
  • 10 cms of garlic paste
  • Table spoon dried parsley


  • Roll of tinfoil
  • Sharp knife
  • Billy lid or small frying pan


  • Gently melt the butter over the fire in a small pan, or billy lid, add the garlic and dried parsley
  • Make a series of cuts 1" apart across the bread, stopping about 1/4" from the bottom, so that you have a loaf with loads of cuts in it
  • Spread the melted butter into both sides of the cuts without breaking them apart
  • Wrap the bread in foil, and place on the fire, but not in flames, for about 5 minutes.
  • Make sure that the bread is completely covered or it will catch fire
  • Unwrap the foil and eat


  • Try adding herbs as well as parsley, Sainsbury's own mixed herbs works well
  • Use fresh garlic instated of paste. Crush cloves with the back of a large spoon on a hard surface. Don't use your chopping board or everything else will stink of garlic too
  • After its cooked try sprinkling on Parmesan cheese for extra stinky breath, or tomato sauce
  • Alternatively use melted mars bars rather than garlic butter, and dip it in hot chocolate (Vile! - SBR)
