THE BEST GARLIC BREAD

Steps:

• Arrange a rack in the center of oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
• Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter is golden and the garlic is very fragrant, about 3 minutes.
• Slice the bread in half lengthwise. Liberally brush the crust with the garlic butter. Turn the bread cut-side up. Slice each loaf crosswise at 2-inch intervals without cutting all the way through, making "pull-apart" garlic bread. Liberally brush the cut sides of the bread with more garlic butter, spreading any remaining garlic evenly over top. You should use all the garlic butter. Carefully transfer the bread to a rimmed baking sheet.
• Sprinkle the loaves with the Parmesan and a pinch of salt and bake until the edges of the bread are a deep golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Top with the parsley. Serve warm.

SWISS POPPY SEED BREAD

Steps:

• Cut loaf of French bread into 10 slices, 3/4 of the way through.
• Insert slices of Swiss Cheese between each of the bread slices.
• Saute onion in butter until transparent, not brown.
• Add poppy seed to butter.
• Spoon butter/onion/poppy seed mixture between the slices of bread and cheese.
• Wrap in foil.
• Bake at 300 degrees until the cheese melts and the bread is hot throughout, about 20-25 minutes.

POPPY SEED BREAD WITH GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease bottoms of two 9-inch loaf pans.
• Mix together flour, salt, baking powder, poppy seeds, butter flavoring, oil, eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, and almond flavoring. Pour into prepared pans.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for one hour. Cool 5 minutes. Poke holes in top of loaves and pour glaze over.
• To make glaze: Mix orange juice, 1/2 teaspoon butter flavoring, 1/2 teaspoon almond flavoring, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Add enough confectioners' sugar to make glaze.

SWISS POPPY SEED BREAD

Steps:

• 1. Cut a piece of aluminum foil large enough to hold the French bread loaf and a couple inches extra on each end.
• 2. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• 3. With a serrated knife, slice the bread diagonally in 1-inch slices.
• 4. Place the bread in the middle of the aluminum foil.

• 7. To the butter, add the minced onion, mustard, lemon juice, poppy seed and season salt.
• 8. Remove the saucepan from the stove, and pour a little bit of the mixture between each slice.
• 9. At this point, if you wanted to turn this into a sandwich, you would place a piece of deli ham between each slice of bread.
• 10. Wrap the aluminum foil around the bread, but do not cover it completely.
• 11. Bake for 30 minutes.
