    Ingredients

    • 2 garlic cloves
    • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
    • 1 baguette, halved crosswise and lengthwise
    • 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
    • Freshly ground pepper

    Directions

    1. Puree garlic and oil in a blender. Brush cut sides of bread with garlic oil; season with salt and pepper. (Refrigerate remaining garlic oil in an airtight container up to 1 month.)
    2. Heat an 8-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Lay bread, cut side down, in skillet. Place a lid small enough to fit inside skillet over the bread, and cook, gently pressing down on the lid and flipping bread once, until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
