Parmesan Garlic Toast
Garlic bread is an easily gobbled up side dish, the only way to balance out that fact is to make a lot of it. Usually when I make garlic bread I take that extra step and make the bread myself, it just seems like a no brainer on a boat with limited space, why store fragile bread when you can just make it. This recipe skips that step and I’m totally okay with it because it’s a recipe from my grandfather, I can’t imagine doing this on anything but store bought sourdough. Sure I could make my own sourdough bread, but there’s something nostalgic in doing it the same way my grandfather did, plus it’s easier and more of it can be made quickly. This isn’t just garlic bread, it’s parmesan garlic toast dusted with paprika and then toasted in the oven till the cheese is bubbly. That little addition of smoked paprika makes all the difference, not only is it visually appealing, but it adds great flavor to a classic dish.
