How to prepare Garlic and Herb Baguette (Bread)

Written by Published on in Bread, HowTos, Lunch Box Ideas, Starches
4 Servings ~ 10 minutes
  • 1 French stick (Baguette)
  • 1 Clove garlic
  • 4 tsp dried mixed herbs
  • 4 tbsp pure vegetable oil
  • Margarine or butter (optional)

This is a pretty simple yet tasty variation for bread and even toast. If you cannot find French sticks even hamburger rolls cut into half or plain bread will work still. You can check for the stick at the bakery section of your local supermarket, I got this at one of the TM Supermarkets even though TM doesn’t always have this in stock.

As with most things in life, it is the little things that make the difference so though this French stick was made already adding a bit if flavor to it makes all the difference. I hope you will enjoy it as much as my family and I did.

Quick Instructions

Please note that you need to serve this right-away after preparing or if you want to serve it later wrap the slices in a tea towel to prevent them from hardening. Also if you are preparing it for the lunchbox or a pick-nick you can wrap the slices in foil paper instead.

  1. Get your French stick ready, Cut slices at an angle. Lay the slices evenly spaced out in your baking sheet or oven tray. Take your garlic clove peel and cut the tip off. Rub the exposed end of the garlic clove onto each slice of your French stick/bread.
  2. Spoon or drizzle the pure vegetable oil onto each slice of bread evenly. Add your mixed herbs by sprinkling them on top of each slice. Put tray into the oven and set it to 180 degrees grill (360 F, gas mark 6). After 10 minutes your tray from the oven.
  3. Whilst the bread is still hot, cut off another piece of the garlic clove and rub the freshly cut side onto each herbal side of the bread slice again.  If you wish you may spread your margarine or butter onto each slice (again whilst it’s still hot)
  4. Your garlic and herb bread is ready. You may serve with any meat dish you wish or eat it as it is.
