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. The metal neutralizes the
garlic like magic. You can also use roasted garlic in this bread, if you wish; the flavor
will be more subdued. This bread is good served with roasted meats and rice
casseroles.
