Here’s a simple and delicious garlic bread recipe—crispy, buttery, and full of garlicky flavor 🥖🧄
🥖 Classic Garlic Bread
Ingredients (Serves 4–6)
- 1 French baguette or Italian loaf
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- Salt, to taste
- Optional: ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
1. Prepare the Garlic Butter
- In a small bowl, mix softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and a pinch of salt.
- Optional: stir in grated Parmesan for cheesy garlic bread.
2. Prepare the Bread
- Preheat oven to 375°F / 190°C.
- Slice the baguette in half lengthwise.
- Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over the cut sides of the bread.
3. Bake
- Place the bread on a baking sheet, cut side up.
- Bake 10–15 minutes, until the bread is golden and the butter has melted.
- Optional: broil for 1–2 minutes for extra crispiness.
Tips & Variations
- Soft garlic bread: wrap in foil while baking for a softer texture.
- Herb boost: add oregano, thyme, or rosemary to the butter.
- Cheesy version: top with mozzarella and broil until bubbly.
- Make ahead: prepare garlic butter and store in the fridge; spread and bake when needed.
If you want, I can also give a quick 5-minute stovetop garlic bread that’s crispy and buttery without baking.
