INGREDIENTS:
2 cloves garlic, minced 2 teaspoons olive oil 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme or 2 teaspoons dried thyme 2 teaspoons chopped fresh marjoram or 3/4 teaspoon dried marjoram 1/2 teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional) 2 small loaves (4 ounces each) Italian or French bread



1 Preheat oven to 350 F. In a small bowl, combine the garlic and oil; mix well.
2 In another small bowl, combine parsley, thyme, marjoram, and paprika. Add Parmesan; mix well. Cut each loaf crosswise into diagonal slices, without cutting all the way through. Brush cut sides of slices with garlic oil. Sprinkle herb mixture between slices. Wrap each loaf in foil; place on a baking sheet.
3 Bake until heated through, about 10 to 15 minutes. Unwrap the loaves and place them on a breadboard or in a basket. Serve immediately.
Tips: For extra flavor, halve a clove of garlic. Split loaves lenghtwise; rub cut sides of bread with cut side of garlic. Brush with oil, sprinkle with herbs, and bake. Italian bread is a great-tasting accent to meals, but can be high in sodium. Enjoy in moderation and avoid using high-sodium toppings such as garlic salt.
