Passover pull-apart garlic rolls are best served right out of the oven, just after covering them in fresh garlic, oil, and basil. Then, they are almost like little Passover popovers: light, airy, and flavorful.

Warning: In an act of bread-craving desperation, I’ve had some Passover rolls that had been sitting around for several days; at that point they resembled the stones used for building pyramids in the Passover story.

Why?

Last year, Jonathan and I went to Gilroy, California. Gilroy is all about garlic. Each year, they host the Gilroy Garlic Festival – which features, as you might imagine, everything garlic! While we weren’t able to make it to the festival, we were able to try some garlic ice cream. It was shockingly tasty and the only ice cream that I’ve ever eaten that left me with bad breath.

When I was talking about the trip to Groom 1.0, he suggested that I make garlic cupcakes for Halloween to scare off the vampires. I loved the idea! I sent myself a futureme email as a reminder. It’s a good thing that I did. I completely forgot about the idea until I received the email a few weeks ago.
