Baked Garlic Bread - Sliced... Where?

[Zacha341]

Garlic is a big in my household. Love it. Ran across a marked-down loaf of sliced garlic bread at Kroger's or Miejer fresh bread section but can't find it at either store again. Can anyone suggest a bakery that sells it. I'd go today to get a loaf!

That processed frozen boxed-bread stuff just does not quite cut it. Thanks.

I did find this recipe applied to an Italian plain loaf of bread. What must it be like with garlic bread like I found before!?

Buy a fresh loaf of Italian or French bread and make your own. Butter, olive oil, garlic and basil. I make the whole loaf and because it's just myself and hubby now, I freeze half for next time.

Yes! You can control the amount of butter and other ingredients. I find the ready made is loaded with too much butter.

Right. I'm finding loaves on Kroger/ Insta-Cart but that has been a complete disaster every time I've tried it. Even pick up they don't have what you want half the time [[even after saying the items for ready for pickup) for speciality items like this..... but maybe I'll try it again.

It's probably the easiest thing one can make in their own oven. No reason to buy store made stuff.

Are there NO Italian bakeries left? Is Roma still there? Can't remember where 'there' was now though. Wyoming? Meyers?

Dave picked up a terrific baguette at the Westborn Market in Royal Oak. He made his own garlic butter and toasted up the slices in the oven.

Invite me ova' the next time hubby does those. I'll do a drive by pick-up ----

[Zacha341]

I'd like some more of the bread from a 'bakery' [[to support that bakery). I can take if from there [[cheesing/ buttering/ toasting). I'm not too interested in bread making from scratch per se...

^ I would consider the Bakery at Westborn a local bakery. They have only four stores and they make a lot of their own bakery offerings, some of which are "to die for" [[like their Killer Peanut Butter Brownies!). In addition, they carry baked goods from other local bakeries like the Just Delicious Scones & The Royal Treat Tea Room.

Julian Bros on Rochester south of 14; Tringali in Warren on Schoenherr; I think Cantori's on the west side has a bakery.

Giovanni's on Harper near 14, Randazzo's on 16 and Garfield, Bommarito's on Greater Mack, Zerrilli's on Garfield and 18 and as jcole said, Tringali's. All excellent traditional Italian bread.

OK, so 'there' is 6412 Schaefer at Paul St. and it looks like they're still in business.

@Zacha 341..Have you tried Avalon International Breads on Willis?

[Zacha341]

Cool. I've been away but will scope out their offerings. Thanks.......

I agree with the recipes already provided,
For bread, in the Detroit Sicilian half of my family, and most often the converts, it was always Bommarito's, seeded.

Yes! You can control the amount of butter and other ingredients. I find the ready made is loaded with too much butter.

And not good butter.
There's a wide range in quality of butter, like olive oil.

[jcole]

Oh, Bommarito Bros. had great cannoli too.

Had? Wait, HAD?

[jcole]

Only that I haven't been there in a while. I tend to go to Ventimiglia's now. It's closer for me

Best pizza rolls ever! .25 ea back in the day after catechism at St. Alphonses.

Sadly they changed hands over 20 years ago and although they still sold some italian items it is now a lebanese bakery.
