Garlic bread
Garlic bread makes every meal better, especially if it鈥檚 this buttery, crispy, extra garlicky homemade garlic bread.
Ingredients: (serves 12)
- 1 loaf French or Italian bread (approx. 24" long)
- 6 tbsp butter, room temperature
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 400潞F. In a bowl, stir together the room-temperature butter, olive oil, minced garlic, garlic powder, chopped parsley, and salt until relatively smooth (a few small lumps of butter are okay).
- Cut the loaf in half, into two 12" long pieces, then cut each piece open lengthwise. Lay the bread on a baking sheet cut sides facing up. Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over the open surfaces of the bread.
- Bake the bread for 10-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy. Bake for less time if you prefer a softer garlic bread, and more time if you prefer a crispier garlic bread. Cut the bread into 2-inch sections and serve hot.
#FoodSavvy tip: Once the garlic butter is spread over the surface of the bread it can be frozen in gallon-sized freezer bags and baked at a later date. The bread can be baked straight from the freezer, although it may take a minute or two longer to brown.
