Split a loaf of SAN FRANCISCO sour dough french bread down the middle and smear with a softened cube of butter that's had a dozen cloves of garlic pressed into it, top with a little basil for color wrap in foil and bake in the oven.

Greek Garlic Bread


1 loaf French bread
8 tablespoons margarine, softened
1/2 cup mayonnaise
4 green onions, chopped
1 (4 ounce) can chopped black olives (or if you prefer a coarser chop, chop about 1/2 large can of whole black olives)
4 ounces mozzarella cheese, grated
garlic salt
seasoning salt

8-10 servings

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Slice the loaf of French bread horizontally through the middle so that you have two"boats".
3. Place bread on jelly roll pan, or in other large casserole dish, cut sides up.
4. (Or you can place bread in a"boat" made out of foil, for the grill).
5. Combine all ingredients, including garlic salt and seasoned salt to taste.
6. (I use liberal amounts).
7. With spatula, spread each half of the French bread with the mixture.
8. Bake for 15 minutes.
