My family likes this bread, I do it both ways, as a loaf and as single slices face up under the broiler.
Large crust loaf of sliced sourdough bread
2 sticks butter/margarine
The next ingredients are approx- do them to your taste preference.
garlic powder-1 tablespoon
garlic salt- 1tsp
italian seasoning-2 tsp
parmesean cheese-3/4 cup
mix all in a bowl, spread on bread- place slices back together in original order wrap with heavy duty foil- bake at 375 for 15- 20 min.
or
place individual slices on cookie sheet butter side up place under broiler until golden brown.
Also may I suggest you take a bag of frozen peas... have the patient use the peas as an ice pak.. works great!
