Pain d’Ail

In Provençe, garlic is said to be the poor man’s, or everyman’s, spice. Simply a garlic French bread, this is a good dinner bread. Store fresh garlic bulbs in a cool, dry place; they do not need to be refrigerated. Use a garlic press to pulverize the cloves for this recipe, or crush the cloves with the flat side of a knife blade to release their wonderful flavor. If you get the odor of garlic on your fingers, you can remove it by rubbing them on a stainless steel spoon under running water.
