The bread of garlic's dreams
It may be ubiquitous in pizza parlors, but this garlic-cheese bread from Alabama's Slice Pizza & Brew trumps most of its counterparts. Made with the same dough the restaurant uses for its pizzas, this garlic-strewn appetizer is the brainchild of executive chef Terrill Brazelton. Brazelton, who spent two years perfecting his final dough recipe, says of his fragrant bread bubbling with cheese, "It slides out the door." We would agree wholeheartedly if our mouths weren't otherwise occupied consuming freshly baked pieces.
