Instructions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut a thin, even slice off tops of garlic bulbs to make them level. Do not peel. Dip into olive oil. Set bulbs upside down (cut side down) in a pie tin or baking dish. Add about 1 cup water.

Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until garlic is very soft and spreadable. If water evaporates while cooking, add more.

When garlic is soft, remove and set upright on a serving plate. Drizzle additional olive oil over the bulbs. To serve, remove one clove of garlic and squeeze soft center out of peel onto freshly baked bread.

Makes about 6
servings.

The roasted garlic is regularly served with bread.
