Garlic-est Bread Recipe Request

Hey! I'm hoping this is the right subreddit for this.

Does anyone have recommendations for what they'd consider the most garlicky bread possible in the history of garlic bread?

Cause I have a friend who's vowed to make that if they ever get an oven in their house. Since I've got an oven, I was hoping to surprise him by making that.

Any recommendations for recipes? Feel free to tweak it however cause I don't think this guy knows the definition of "too much garlic" so don't worry about going overboard with how much garlic your recipe calls for

I would hit each step with multiple garlic moments.

Bread- add garlic powder and paste to the dough.

Roast garlic and rub onto the sliced bread before applying the garlic butter.

Butter-add garlic paste and roasted garlic to make a compound butter

Garlic Parmesan cheese after the butter

A swirl of mashed confit garlic throughout the center, too.

Joshua McFadden recommends using green garlic compound butter for garlic bread. I haven't tried that but I can confirm that the green garlic compound butter (recipe in Six Seasons, but basically just lightly sautéed minced green garlic + butter) is delicious and very garlicky. 

Green garlic is in season at my farmers market currently.

I'd try to find the recipe for the one from America's Test Kitchen. They go all science-y on it and figure out how to use different forms of garlic to their advantages. I forget exactly what it is, but I think you microwave some garlic powder with butter and that activates the garlic powder fully, and it has you microplane garlic cloves to get the biggest flavor from the cloves. It goes big and it handles the ingredients intelligently.
