Author's Notes
Mix the chopped garlic into slightly warm butter. This cooks the garlic slightly and takes out the sharp garlic bite. When you butter the outside of the bread, don’t include the garlic bits. They will burn during the cooking process. It will still have the garlic flavor, since the butter should have the garlic infused into it.
