15g chopped parsley
1/4 tsp kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

How To Make Garlic Bread Recipe?

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Make the Garlic Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine softened butter, garlic, parmesan, parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Prepare the Bread: Using a sharp knife, cut slits in the loaf about 2.5cm (1 inch) apart. Ensure the cuts are deep, but the loaf remains intact.
Spread the Garlic Butter: Spread the garlic butter mixture into each slit with a spatula, knife, or spoon. Place the loaf onto a large piece of aluminum foil.
Bake the Bread: Wrap the bread in foil and place it on a baking tray. Bake for 15 minutes, then uncover the foil and continue baking for 5 more minutes, or until golden brown.

Recipe Tips:

Use Fresh Garlic: Fresh garlic gives the best taste. Avoid jarred garlic.
Spread the Butter Well: Make sure each slit gets butter for full flavor.
Don’t Overbake: Watch the bread carefully to avoid it getting too crispy or dry.
Add More Cheese: For extra flavor, add more parmesan or mozzarella.
Let It Cool: Let the bread cool for a minute before cutting to keep it easy to slice.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

Refrigerate: Let the leftover garlic bread cool to room temperature. Then, wrap it and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Freeze: Wrap the garlic bread and place it in the freezer for up to 1 month.
Reheat: Heat a pan on medium and place the garlic bread in it. Cover with a lid and heat for 2-3 minutes.
