Homemade Garlic Braai Loaf

Homemade Garlic Braai Loaf recipe. Easy idea for bread loaf or rolls, grilled on braai or oven, DIY ideas for appetizers or side dish.

Homemade Garlic Braai Loaf.

This recipe idea for the garlic loaves may be baked or grilled openly in the oven as well. But of course it will taste so much nicer on a braai. (a south african open fire grill on hot coals) But still cover the rolls with aluminum foil. This will not dry out the rolls. I also cover the top of the rolls with some of the butter. The filling consists of butter, crushed garlic and parmesan cheese and herbs.

Why is garlic bread so good?

It scores high on the rich combination of sugar (bread), salt (butter, cheese) and fat (butter, cheese) along with a good dose of umami-ness that adds to the deliciousness and addictiveness. A reason why we always find the mention of garlic bread so exciting. In addition to that are the known health benefits of garlic.

Which country invented garlic bread?

Garlic bread stems from the Italian bruschetta, bruschetta alla romana to be exact. “Brusciare” meaning to toast, bruschetta alla romana is toasted bread rubbed with garlic and drizzled with oil and salt. Southern Italy was known for its garlic recipes as that’s where garlic grew in the country.

What is garlic bread loaf called?

Garlic bread (also called garlic toast) consists of bread (usually a baguette, sour dough, or bread such as ciabatta), topped with garlic and olive oil or butter and may include additional herbs, such as oregano or chives.

Ingredients.

Use

1. Three medium length loaves for about 8 people.
2. Butter
3. Garlic minced or dried flakes or powder.
4. Parmesan cheese
5. Salt and pepper.

Three loaves of medium length to make garlic loaves to grill on the braai or barbecue as a side dish or appetizer.

How To Make

How to make the garlic loaves for grilling.

Cut the loaf in slits at inch to an inch and a half distance. Not totally through the loaf though, as the garlic butter mix must to be inserted. Use a bread board or any cutting board of your choice.

Fill the cuts with garlic, butter and Parmesan cheese mix you have made already in a small bowl. 

Once filled with the garlic butter mix wrap in tin foil for the grill on a braai or barbecue. If you are not having a braai, baking or grilling in the oven is fine. If you would love to make slices with the garlic butter and cheese on then grill them under the grill in the oven.

All wrapped and ready to grill on the braai with some mielies (corn). You can grill in in the oven as well. 

How long or how much time to grill?

They will take a few minutes to brown and melt butter. Turning to do all sides. It will also differ on the thickness of your rolls. About 4 – 5 minutes each side for a medium loaf. Smaller pieces or rolls, will be quicker. As all that needs to be achieved is to melt the butter and to slightly brown the roll.

To serve

Once complete unwrap the loaf and break into sections to serve with salads and braai meat. Or even grilled meat or veggies skewers.

For these single sliced breads brushed with garlic butter, grill them in the oven under the grill to melt the butter and brown them a little. That’s all one wants to do.

Cut and serve for an appetizer or a side dish while grilling on a braai or Barbecue and they can be baked in an oven as well.
