Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cut the top ¼ inch from the top of the bulb. Alternatively, separate the cloves from the bulb, and rub off the papery outer skins. Either way, place the garlic in a baking dish.

(Or roast in aluminum foil. The sheet of foil needs to be large enough to fold over itself and the garlic.)

Drizzle the garlic with olive oil. Add a couple of tablespoons of water. Cover tightly.

Bake for about 1 hour, until the garlic is completely soft inside.
