1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.

2. Remove any loose skins from the garlic heads and cut off the top of each, trimming just enough to expose the garlic cloves. Drizzle olive oil over the exposed garlic and season with salt and pepper to taste. Wrap the heads of garlic together in foil and bake for 30-45 minutes. The garlic is ready when the heads are soft to the touch and golden brown on top. Set aside until cool enough to handle.

3. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves into a blender. Add 2 tablespoons water and blend until smooth, about 1 minute. You may need to add a bit more water, up to an additional 2 tablespoons, to get it going.
