Whole-Grain Herbed Garlic Bread

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the garlic on a double-thick square of aluminum foil, drizzle with 1/2 teaspoon of the oil and fold up the foil to enclose the garlic securely.

2. 2

   Place the garlic directly on the oven rack and bake until it is golden brown and meltingly soft, about 1 hour.

3. 3

   Unwrap and set aside until cool enough to handle, about 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Combine the parsley, thyme and remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil in a small bowl.

5. 5

   Remove the roasted garlic cloves from the white papery husks with the tip of a butter knife and place them in the bowl.

6. 6

   Mash with a fork until smooth and spreadable.

7. 7

   Spread the mixture evenly over the bread halves and sprinkle with the Parmesan and salt to taste.

8. 8

   Place on a baking sheet and broil (about 6 inches from the heat source) until the top is just browned, about 2 minutes.

9. 9

   Cut into 4 pieces and serve warm.

10. 10

    Cook's note: Halve the head of garlic horizontally, exposing a section of all the cloves.
