Start by making your roasted garlic by mixing everything together in double lined tinfoil. Mix up well.
Seal garlic up tightly. In a preheated 400° oven - bake for 30 minutes.
At the same time, bake your bread as per manufactures directions [usually 7 to 10 minutes at 400°] then cover bread with a towel until you're ready to slice and serve.
Once roasted - using forks or a potato masher - mash garlic mixture well. Taste test to see if you'd like to add additional herbs or salt. If you feel it's too salty - no worries. Just add additional sun dried tomatoes.
Serve garlic spread warm or room temp in small individual Ramikins for your guests.

This was a submission by one of my 7 year old students who really wanted to try clams but couldn't stand the thought of touching their shells. [?] So, the clams are all internal in this photo and out of shell. Yup. He wouldn't touch a single one. [smh]
