Notes
Prep Tip: Not quite ready to serve dinner when the bread is done? Keep the oven on low and leave the bread inside until dinner is ready to serve. Or wrap it in foil to keep it warm on the counter.
Want to make it cheesy? Sprinkle some good melting cheese like mozzarella or provolone over the top before baking. Or sprinkle some grated Parmesan for extra flavor.
Herb Tip: No fresh parsley on hand? Use a teaspoon of dried herbs like parsley, thyme, or Italian seasoning instead. Mix it into the butter or sprinkle it over the top before baking.
Storage Tip: Garlic bread is best eaten warm from the oven, but leftovers, will keep in the refrigerator for a few days.
