Best. Garlic. Bread. EVER.

I kid you not. This is probably the best garlic bread you could ever want to make -- or eat. Which is really the important factor in this.

Yes, I know what you're thinking... why would you need a recipe for something like garlic bread? Well, just try a slice of this stuff and you'll know why.

Ingredients:

• 1 loaf Italian bread, sliced into 1"-thick pieces (you'll have about 12-14 slices)
• 8 Tablespoons butter, softened
• 4 gloves carlic, pressed or minced (if they're small cloves, go with 5-6, don't skimp on the garlic)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon sugar

Directions:

1. Place a baking sheet into the oven, and then preheat the oven to 425. Having a hot baking sheet is a must.

2. In a small bowl, use a fork to beat the butter, garlic, salt, pepper, and sugar until well mixed and smooth.

3. Spread the butter mix onto both sides of the bread slices, and put aside on a plate.

4. Once all the slices are buttered, take out the hot baking sheet and carefully arrange the slices on it. Bake for 8-10 minutes for the first side, then flip and bake for 5 more. They should be a deliciously and appealing toasty brown when you take them out.

5. Let cool for 2 minutes... then serve and ENJOY the wonderfully amazing deliciousness!

Note: This also freezes well. After step 3, place the slices on a plate and put them in the freezer for 15 minutes to set. Then, take them out, put them in a freezer bag, and stick them back in the freezer. When you're ready to eat them, just add 2 minutes to the bake time for the first side. Just don't forget to preheat the baking sheet and oven, first! =)
