This is how you make homemade garlic bread using nothing but loaves of garlic, bread, and butter.
Roast the garlic in an oven: depending on the clove of garlic and the size of the individual garlic bulbs this can take anywhere from 45 minutes at 400 degrees to about 2 hours at the same temperature. The garlic needs to roast until it nearly liquifies (it will be soft enough to literally squeeze out of it's internal wrapper). Cut the thick paper off of the garlic and only leave the internal paper (the very last layer) on. You can cut into this layer to make pealing easier once it's roasted. Add a small amount of oil to the garlic and place it in a ball of tinfoil (wrap the tinfoil around the garlic till it is completely encompassed.)
Once the garlic is roasted de-paper it, and place it in a bowl.
Butter some bread you left out for about 25-30 minutes to harden. If you want to use real butter I advise leaving the butter out on the counter for at least 1 hour to allow it to soften at normal room temperature (below 80 degrees is a must if it's hotter check every fifteen minutes)
Spread the roasted garlic onto the bread by taking a fork and placing a clove in the center of the bread. press down firmly with the fork and if you left the garlic in long enough it will disintegrate onto the bread leaving a sweet garlicky spread.
Place the bread in the oven. You can either use a broiler (three minutes as the bread is, then take it out and add cheese if you desire) Or in a regular oven (500 degrees for about 5 minutes. check the bread and if it hasn't browned yet place it back in and check every minute... do Not leave it in there or it will catch fire)
After the bread browns you can add some cheese to make what I did, garlic cheese bread. I use a mix of Colby jack and Parmesan.

Mmmmmm! Cheesey roasted-garlic bread! Oh, what a treat!
At the Gilroy Garlic Festival out CA-way, you can by heads of roasted garlic, with thick slices of lightly buttered sourdough bread you can schmere them all over. SOOO good!
Long roasting the garlic makes ALL the difference!
