Ingredients
  

Roasted Garlic

  • 8-10 cloves garlic cloves For roasting
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 pinch salt

Garlic Butter Custard

  • ½ cup butter, melted (113g)
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup milk (60g)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Main Ingredients

  • 12 pieces King's Hawaiian Original Hawaiian Sheet Rolls Kept in the full sheet form or can substitute with a French baguette
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese Freshly shredded for best melt.

For Serving

  • Chopped parsley
  • Chili flakes For extra kick

Instructions
 

Roasting Garlic

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Cut the top off the garlic cloves, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle a pinch of salt.
  • Wrap the garlic in foil and roast for about 30 minutes until soft and golden. Let it cool, then squeeze the garlic out of the skins into a bowl.

Garlic Butter Custard Preparation

  • In the bowl with the roasted garlic, add melted butter, egg, milk, salt, paprika, and chopped parsley. Mix well until smooth.

Assembly

  • Place the Hawaiian Sheet Rolls on a baking sheet, keeping them in the full sheet form.
  • Pour the garlic butter custard mixture evenly over the rolls.
  • Top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

Serving

  • Once baked, remove the garlic bread from the oven and let it cool slightly. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and chili flakes for an extra kick.
  • Serve warm and enjoy alongside your favorite meal.

Notes

If you have leftovers, allow the bread to cool completely. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze it for up to a month. To reheat, simply warm it in the oven until heated through. For extra flavor, add a pinch of Italian herbs to the garlic butter mixture. If you like it spicy, mix in some crushed red pepper flakes. Ensure the mozzarella cheese is freshly shredded for the best melt.
