Description

My go-to for garlic bread! French bread, butter, fresh garlic, garlic powder, Parmesan, and parsley. It’s so simple and so ridiculously good.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • half a loaf of French bread or a full loaf of Italian bread
  • 1 stick (1/2 cup) salted butter, cut into chunks
  • 1 large clove garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Prep: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Soften the butter in the microwave in short increments. 
  2. Garlic: Grate the garlic directly into the butter.
  3. Parm and Parsley: Add the garlic powder, Parmesan, and parsley; stir to combine. If it’s too runny, just pop it in the fridge for a minute.
  4. Spread the Butter: Cut the bread in half and spread with a thick layer of the butter mixture.
  5. Bake: Bake for 9-10 minutes in the middle of the oven. Add an extra 1-2 minutes if you want for more browning.
  6. Serve! Remove from the oven, cut into slices, and serve. Life is good.

Notes

For the exact amount of bread, see photos above! For a small Italian loaf, I use all of the butter! The photo with the French bread next to the baguette – that shows how much French bread I use for this amount of butter. It will all depend on the size of your loaf.

If you use unsalted butter, be sure to add a pinch of salt to the butter mixture!

This is AMAZING to freeze! Spread the bread with the butter as usual, then pop it in the freezer. Once solid, throw it in a bag or wrap in foil. You have garlic bread at the ready to bake the next time the craving strikes! What a treat!
