👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 120°C (250°F).
    ⚙ Preheating the OvenOven
    💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
  2. 2
    Arrange the garlic cloves in a small baking dish.
    Glass / ovenproof baking dish
  3. 3
    Pour in the olive oil until it covers the garlic completely.
  4. 4
    Add the herbs, bay leaves, salt and black pepper.
  5. 5
    Bake 70–90 minutes, until the garlic is soft, golden and falling apart.

    💡Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.
  6. 6
    Cool completely and transfer to a jar with all the oil. Keep in the fridge up to two weeks.
