You may also sprinkle each bulb with thyme, oregano, salt, or pepper to taste. Set the bulbs in the bottom of the Garlic Baker and cover with the domed lid. Place in cold oven. Set the temperature at 300 for 1 hour. Then remove the domed cover and bake for 20 minutes more, or until the garlic is soft and the outside leaves are golden brown Baste occasionally with olive oil.
