How to Make Garlic Bread Without an Oven
You do not need a conventional oven for making garlic bread. Two methods for baking this flavorful bread exist: toasting pre-made bread with garlic butter or baking a garlic-infused bread from scratch. Accomplish both of these on your stove top or grill with the use of a Dutch oven. Made from heavy cast iron, a Dutch oven resembles a large covered soup pot. The iron construction holds heat and evenly transfers it to the food, allowing you to bake bread on your stove or on a grill. Does this Spark an idea?
