How To Make Easy Garlic Bread
This recipe is a great finger food for parties as you can all tear and share the bread without needing a plate or cutlery. It is simple, easy but packed full of delicious flavours.
As mentioned earlier, I used my homemade pesto but you can buy store bought, that said making yours at home only takes 5 minutes, it keeps well in the fridge and can be made ahead of time.
I have basil pesto recipe here if you want to check it out. To make yours at home, simply add fresh basil leaves, garlic and pine nuts in a food processer and give it a quick blitz for a few seconds. By the way, you can any other greens of choice but I highly recommend basil for this garlic bread recipe.

Then add parmesan cheese, olive oil salt and pepper then blend to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning, viola, you just made the best homemade pesto sauce ever.
Basil Pesto sauce: I used homemade pesto but store-bought would work just fine. Make to use the brand that you trust and like, it is also, important to use one that is not packed in oil.
Mozzarella cheese: I used firm mozzarella cheese, it is different from fresh mozzarella which is not recommended for this recipe as it might leave the bread wet. You can substitute for any other melting cheese of choice.

Preheat the oven to 190C/385F and slice the mozzarella cheese thinly then set aside (you can shred the cheese of you would prefer)
Cut the baguette about 1 inch crosswise but not cutting it all the way through the bottom of the loaf (see image in collage for reference) It should looks like pages of a book at this point.
Place the bread loaf on an aluminium foil wide enough to wrap the bread in, melt butter in the microwave for a few seconds, add about ½ tbsp of pesto and mix to combine and brush over the bread then wrap loosely.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until the cheese is completely melted. Carefully bring the out of the oven once it is done and serve immediately.
Notice I did not add any more garlic to this recipe, that is because my pesto contained garlic already. If you would like yours more garlicky, then add more freshly minced garlic into the pesto or just rub it into the cuts of the bread before baking.
In the fridge: this garlic pesto bread is best served immediately and consumed within few hours of making it. However, if you do have leftovers, store it in the fridge for up to 3 days wrapped in plastic bag/clingfilm as you would with pizza.

To reheat: the best way to reheat would be in the oven. Warm in a preheated oven for about 3 to 5 minutes or until warmed to your liking.
Yes, you can make it ahead of time just before you bake it. Place it in the fridge for up to 24 hours and it can be frozen for up to 2 months.
This recipe can be made vegan making some simple swaps. If you choose to make your own pesto then substitute the parmesan cheese for nutritional yeast. Swap the mozzarella cheese for vegan melting cheese of choice or omit it completely.

Absolutely you can, instead of the cheese, mix butter with cheese-free pesto and bake in the oven for about 20 minutes or until toasted to your liking.

Ultimate Garlic Bread Spread
I feel like everyone has a somewhat Proustian garlic bread memory. Or if they don’t they should. A moment in time, or a restaurant where all other foods faded away in the shadow of this, one of the world’s most perfect foods.
But first, there was always garlic bread. A waiter would deposit a big basket on the table as soon as you sat down, and everyone would just tear right into it. The bread was insane, dripping with an ungodly amount of butter and probably some oil, riddled with chopped fresh garlic, and glistening on the top. Butter ran down your wrist as you shoveled it in. It was worth almost ruining your dinner for.
The whole meal was decadent—we always started with steamers (steamers! Oh, steamers…), then lobsters of course, because that’s why we were there. There was a salad because we are a civilized family, and there were also French fries. My father always ended his meal with a piece of key lime pie.

Smear it in between slices of partially sliced baguette or Italian bread. Be a bit generous with the butter and get it on both sides of each slice of bread. Use good butter if possible (meaning European-style butter). I like to use unsalted butter, so I can add in the amount of salt I like, and also use more coarse kosher or sea salt, which also gives a little salty crunch.
Wrap the bread in foil but leave the top of the foil open while baking it. This is my favorite way to cook any type of flavored bread, and I make a lot of these types of bread. It is, to me, the perfect cross between the crunchy top and the soft inside. Wrapping it completely in foil is an option of you like a fully soft garlic bread. Baking it with no foil on a rimmed baking sheet is also an option of your like your bread with a crunchy hard crust all around.

If you want to go fancier and more impressive on the bread-level, my easy garlic focaccia with bruschetta dip would also be just the ticket.
It’s a bold claim, I know. But I have literally spent YEARS tweaking this recipe after being unimpressed with other ones. It ain’t low calorie or particularly healthy but by gosh it’s delicious.
The ground dried garlic combined with plenty of fresh garlic and the earthiness from the dried onion and herbs kicks it up about ten notches flavour-wise.
