Really Good Garlic Bread

From America's Test Kitchen

1 loaf italian bread, cut in ½ horizontally

1 tbs juiced garlic (use microplane)

8 tbs butter (½ melted; ½ softened)

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp water

⅛ tsp cayenne

½ tsp salt (omit if using salted butter)

Add juiced garlic to melted butter and microwave for 1 minute stirring half way.

Mix garlic powder and water to make a slurry.

To that, add softened butter and melted garlic mixture as well as cayenne & salt.

Spread on bread halves.

Bake 450° for 3 to 4 minutes.

Flip loaves over, and with another sheet pan on top, lightly press down on bread.

Return to oven and bake about 8 minutes more (with sheet pan on top)
