We have this Homemade Garlic Bread a lot. I mean, A LOT. It goes great with Spaghetti or any pasta dish obviously. But we also enjoy it as a side for Salad-for-Dinner Night. Crunchy and soft and butter and garlic-y. Yum! Better than store-bought and nearly as easy to make … try some tonight!

Ingredients You Will Need

All the ingredients you will need to make Garlic Bread including French Bread, Chopped Parsley, Garlic and Butter.

How to Make Garlic Butter

Step 1: Soften the butter.  (The softer the butter, the easier it is to mix and spread.) You can find directions on how to soften butter here.
Step 2: Mince 2 to 3 cloves of Garlic (we use a garlic press) and add it to the butter.
Step 3: Mix together with a fork.
Step 4: Add the Parsley Flakes and mix thoroughly.  

Baking Instructions

Steps 5-6: Slice the French Bread, either lengthwise or in slices, and then generously slather the garlic butter on the bread. More butter is more better!

Step 7: To bake the Garlic Bread, set the oven to broil and place the bread directly under the broiler.  Broil the French Bread for approximately 5-7 minutes.  (The time will vary depending on your oven.)  Keep an eye on the bread and remove when the top is browned.  The top will be crunchy and the bottom will be soft. 
Step 8: NOTE:  If you decide to cut the bread into individual pieces before you cook it, wrap the loaf tightly in foil and bake in a 350 oven for 20-25 mins or until the butter is melted and the crust is crispy.
