Ingredients
- 15-18 garlic cloves, peeled
- Olive oil, to drizzle
- Salt, to taste
- Crushed black pepper, to taste
- 300 grams Sorrentina Whole Wheat Ciabatta Bread
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Place the garlic cloves on a sheet of silver foil, drizzle them with olive oil and season them with salt and pepper. Wrap the foil and bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
- Cut the Sorrentina Whole Wheat Ciabatta Bread into slices, approximately ¼ to ⅓ inch thick, and place them on a baking tray (You can also cut the bread horizontally first and then into slices).
- Drizzle olive oil on both sides of the bread slices. Toast until they turn golden brown on either side; this should take approximately 3-4 minutes, so be cautious. Flip the slices and toast the other side as well.
- Remove the garlic from the oven and transfer it to a bowl. Lightly mash it with a fork and apply it to the toasted bread pieces.
- Serve with piping hot soup.
