Ingredients
1 loaf bread (uncut and fresh as possible)
3 -4 garlic cloves, crushed to a paste (I use a mortar and pestle but you can probably use your press or processor)
2 teaspoons dried chili pepper flakes
2 teaspoons dried basil
2 teaspoons dried thyme
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
14 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon butter (adds a little more depth and richness)
2 cups parmesan cheese (not out of a store-bought shaker) or 2 cups romano cheese, grated (not out of a store-bought shaker)
