Garlic Bread with Slice Bread Recipe
This easy garlic bread recipe transforms ordinary sliced bread into a delicious, aromatic side dish perfect for any meal.By combining softened butter with minced garlic, fresh parsley, and seasonings, you create a flavorful spread that elevates simple bread to new heights.
Ingredients
- 1 loaf of sliced bread 16 slices
- 1 cup 226g unsalted butter, softened
- 6-8 cloves of garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley finely chopped
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preparing the garlic butter spread:
- Soften your butter (or alternative) at room temperature.
- Mince 2-3 cloves of garlic per 1/2 cup of butter.
- Mix in your chosen herbs and seasonings.
- Blend everything together until smooth and fragrant.
Applying the spread:
- Lay out your sliced bread on a baking sheet.
- Generously slather each slice with your garlic butter mixture.
- Make sure to spread it all the way to the edges – we want flavor in every bite!
Baking vs. broiling:
- For a crispy exterior and soft interior, bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10-15 minutes.
- Want it extra crispy? Broil for 2-3 minutes, but watch it like a hawk – it can burn quickly!
Achieving the perfect crispiness:
- For extra crunch, try toasting the bread lightly before adding the garlic butter.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet – give each slice some space to crisp up.
