HERBY GARLIC BREAD
INGREDIENTS

125g soft (not melted) butter (salted is easier but unsalted is also fine)

15g to 30g Italian parsley, finely chopped (you can use other herbs if you prefer)

3 to 4 garlic cloves, minced (add more to taste)

1 bagette or 4 hotdog rolls

salt and freshly ground black pepper

Optional: 125ml grated mozzarella and 30g grated Parmesan

METHOD

First make the butter: mix the butter, chopped herbs and garlic together, season and set aside for 5 minutes.

Slice bread(s) in half and spread butter mixture generously.

If using cheese, spread that on too.

Wrap the bread(s) well in tin foil.

Place on the braai for around 15 minutes.
