The Best Garlic Bread Recipe

Find out how to make the best garlic bread at home with this easy family recipe. 

At dinner the other night, Yummy Hubby asked, “Have you put this garlic bread on your blog? Because it’s amazing!” So though this is not exactly a “recipe” because it is so simple, I promised him I would share with you how I make my “amazing” garlic bread. You can get it all ready for the oven early in the day and pop it in when you’re ready to eat.

Growing up my family often had salad and garlic bread along with our dinner. My dad has always loved garlic, and I do too. Making garlic bread at home is incredibly easy. Once you know this garlic bread recipe you’ll never buy the frozen kind again. 

Garlic Bread Ingredients

To make garlic bread at home you’ll need a few simple ingredients. You already have them on hand! 

• Bread: I use a fresh baguette, but ciabatta or other crusty breads are great too 
• Garlic: You’ll need a few cloves
• Butter: I like Earth Balance because it’s dairy-free, tasty, and easy to spread
• Parmesan: adds a ton of flavor
• Parsley: add color and freshness with dried or fresh parsley

How to Make Garlic Bread

Making garlic bread at home is really as easy as splitting your loaf of bread in half, spreading on some butter, spreading on some garlic, and dusting with Parmesan. Bake until toasty and cut!
