Sarımsaklı Kaşarlı Ekmek

Bahan-bahan

1 large ciabatta loaf

(Bread from the day before actually works even better.)

🧄 Garlic mixture

1 whole head of garlic

3 Tbsp olive oil

2 Tbsp softened butter

Salt, to taste

Black pepper, to taste

Red chili flakes, to taste

A pinch of finely chopped parsley

Grated Kashar cheese (the person who made it used mozzarella instead)

Arahan

Peel the garlic cloves and sauté them in a pan with the 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Stay with them and stir constantly because they cook very quickly.

Let the garlic and oil mixture cool down.

Mash the cooked garlic and mix it with the remaining ingredients:

softened butter

salt

black pepper

chili flakes

parsley

Cut the ciabatta lengthwise in half and place both halves on a baking sheet.

Spread the garlic mixture evenly over the bread.

Cover generously with the grated cheese. If you like it spicy, sprinkle some additional red chili flakes over the top.

Bake in a preheated 450°F oven (230°C) for approximately 15 minutes.

Enjoy while hot! 🧄🧀🔥

The little PS

“Roasted garlic doesn’t smell as strongly as you think it does 🙃”

Nota

One thing I’d note: this recipe says Kashar cheese, which is a Turkish/Balkan cheese that melts beautifully. The author says they used mozzarella instead, so mozzarella is absolutely fine if that’s what you have
