It’s a new month and that means we’re exploring another garlic bread recipe. This time, the theme is a classic Italian Summer featuring grilled peaches, burrata and prosciutto! Sweetness from the peaches, creaminess from the burrata and saltiness from the prosciutto; this is an all-rounder of a garlic bread.

There are 3 main components to this dish: The roasted garlic, grilled peaches and bread.

1. Roasted garlic: we’ve explored this many times now but it’s essentially slow roasting your garlic to tone down its sharpness while bringing out its sweetness.
2. Grilled peaches: this might sound weird but grilled peaches are so delicious. Grilling the peaches brings out its sweetness and adds char to the fruit.
3. Bread: i used pane di casa but you can use any crusty Italian loaf of bread you can find.

Ingredients

2 peaches, sliced and stone removed
1 garlic bulb, top removed
3 tbsp butter, softened
5-6 pieces of Prosciutto
1 burrata
1 loaf of crusty bread
chilli flakes, to taste
honey, to taste
parsley or basil, to garnish

Method

1. [this recipe makes for one half of your bread loaf]
   Preheat oven to 180C/350F.
2. Place your exposed garlic bulb into a ramekin with a drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper. Bake for roughly 1 hour or until the garlic is soft and golden.
3. While the garlic is roasting, prepare your grilled peaches. Grill the peaches in a cast iron with no oil until golden on both sides. Set aside.
4. Once the garlic is roasted and cooled, squeeze out the flesh. Mix together the garlic flesh with butter, salt and pepper.
5. Slice your loaf of bread in half, length-wise and spread the butter mixture onto 1 half. Place the bread into the broiler/grill until golden.
6. Spread the burrata on top of your grilled bread. Then nicely place the grilled peaches and prosciutto on top. Top with chilli flakes, honey and parsley/basil.
