Here’s a classic Garlic Bread recipe—crispy, buttery, and garlicky 🥖🧄:
Ingredients (Serves 4–6)
- 1 baguette or Italian bread loaf
- ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1–2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- ½ tsp salt
- Optional: ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
1. Preheat oven
- Preheat to 375°F / 190°C.
2. Prepare garlic butter
- In a bowl, mix softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, and salt (and cheese, if using).
3. Slice the bread
- Slice the bread lengthwise (or into thick slices, depending on preference).
- Spread garlic butter generously over the cut sides.
4. Bake
- Place bread on a baking sheet, buttered side up.
- Bake 10–12 minutes until golden and melted.
- Optional: broil 1–2 minutes for a crispier top.
5. Serve
- Slice and serve warm as a side to pasta, soup, or salad.
Tips & Variations
- Cheesy garlic bread: Sprinkle mozzarella on top before baking.
- Herb variation: Add thyme, oregano, or rosemary for extra flavor.
- Spicy kick: Add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the butter.
- Soft garlic bread: Wrap in foil while baking for softer texture; unwrap in last 2 minutes for slight crisp.
If you want, I can give a “restaurant-style garlic bread” recipe with buttery, golden, perfectly crisp edges, optional cheesy topping, and a roasted garlic flavor that’s next-level.
Do you want me to do that version?
