Such a great pre-dinner starter. I time it so that it's still in the oven when my guests arrive and done about 10 minutes later. This way your house smells amazing when they get there and you're taking it out of the oven just as everyone's got their drinks. Plus it cooks itself which frees you up for dinner preparation. It's all in the planning :)

(WHAT YOU WILL NEED)
1 baguette
2 heads garlic
fresh thyme
olive oil
sea salt/cracked pepper
aluminum foil
About an hour before you want to eat it: place garlic heads on large piece of foil. Cut the tops off, drizzle lightly with olive oil, sprinkle with sea salt and cracked pepper, place a few thyme sprigs on top, and wrap in foil, making a packet. Roast in 350 degree oven for one hour. Remove from oven but do not unwrap.
Slice baguette into rounds, drizzle with olive oil, place in 350 degree oven for 5-8 min. Remove from oven.
Unwrap garlic...
squeeze a few cloves onto a piece of bread. Salt and pepper as needed.
