olive oil, to coat bread |
Directions:
1. Melt butter in saucepan over low heat and remove from heat.
2. Crush garlic in press and add it to melted butter. Cook over medium heat, watching carefully not to let garlic burn, about 3-5 minutes, in a slow simmer. Stir in dried spices. Remove from heat.
3. Add salt to taste.
