Medieval Garlic Bread

Medieval Garlic Bread

When I picture myself in the kitchen whipping up something yummy to eat, it usually involves baking Toll House cookies or Ghiridelli brownies. So why garlic bread? Up to a few weeks ago I would have never thought of it had it not been for my husband's apple bread pudding failure.  Klaus had this idea to make a sugar free apple bread pudding with only ingredients a  medieval person would have. The bread was divine, but the bread pudding was very bland and dry. To Klaus' surprise, I fell in love with the whole wheat bread and demanded he make it again the following week, which he did only this time he told me to bake with him and write the recipe down. I did just that and after going through the whole process I decided to venture out on my own and add garlic into the mix. They came out wonderfully with a rich garlic taste.
