The Best Easy Garlic Bread (video)
This bread is so good I had a hard time knowing when to stop! I wanted to just keep reaching for slice after slice. Cheesy, garlic-y deliciousness!
I’ve never really liked my bread drenched in butter — it just feels too heavy when it is. So I cut back the classic 1/2 cup butter you’ll find in just about any homemade garlic bread recipe and I used 4 Tbsp butter and 2 Tbsp olive oil.
It makes it seem not quite so greasy. These were just the perfect ratios for me, but if you like more butter feel free to add it.
Rosemary Garlic Pull Apart Bread
This is a versatile recipe, you can swap out the cheeses listed for others that you like, just use any good melting cheese (cheddar, provolone, muenster, etc).
As far as the parsley goes, dried will work just fine too if you don’t already have fresh on hand. It’s not really worth buying a bunch of fresh parsley only to use a tablespoon of it (I’d still use about 1 Tbsp dried). It’s more for looks really, and it adds a hint of flavor.
Like I listed in the recipe, you can use fresh garlic for a more robust flavor or the granulated garlic for a more mellow flavor. Just be sure to enjoy it warm for that gooey cheesy deliciousness!

Personally, I don’t love using extra virgin olive oil in this recipe because it’s stronger in flavor than the more refined regular olive oil. But if you only have EVOO on hand and you don’t mind its flavor peeping through the cheesy garlic bread, go ahead and use it.
The best way to make garlic bread - with cheese! French bread is buttered and baked then topped with a layer of shredded cheese and baked until perfectly melty and delicious. Plus it's so easy to make!

Best bread – The best bread to use for Cheese and Garlic Crack Breadis crusty sourdough or another dense type of bread, but it works well with plain crusty loaves as well.
The reason it works better with sourdoughis because the bread is denser so the bread tends to hold together better when you pull bits off. But believe me, there is no compromise on flavour if you use other types of bread! In fact, in the photo I chose to use a crusty Vienna loaf because it was on special.

Best cheese –I really recommend using mozzarella cheese for this, you want it to stretch and pull when you tear the pieces off.
Other flavourings –I kept the flavours quite simple, going for a garlic bread with cheese, but you can go really wild with the flavours for this! Ranch dressing, kick of chilli, other herbs – the possibilities are endless!
When it comes out of the oven, it’s all golden, crusty and buttery on the inside and you know that’s just the start of the eating experience that’s about to commence….

It’s by far the most requested party food by my family and friends. I usually make it at home then take it to the venue and bake it there. Thebest way to make ahead is to use softened butter instead of melted butter and slather it into the cracks, then stuff with cheese. Wrap and bake before serving.

Cheesy Texas Toast Garlic Bread Recipe {family Favorite}
1. Make Ahead -The best way to make ahead is to usesoftened butter instead of melted butter, mix with garlic, salt and parsley then smear into the cracks. Stuff with cheese, wrap and refrigerate or freeze. To cook, thaw then follow recipe instructions to bake.
To make ahead so that it just requires a brief 2 minute reheat in the microwave to serve, you must use a crusty sourdough loaf. Bake per recipe (including unwrapped stage), then wrap it up in foil and let it cool. Refrigerate up to 3 days, then to serve, just microwave for 1 1/2 - 2 minutes on high just to melt the cheese again. Because the crust gets so crusty in the oven, it stays crusty even when reheated in the microwave.
3. Speedy Tip **Update** A reader reminded me of a fabulous SPEEDY tip that I should share with you! Instead of melting the butter, cream it. Then cut diagonal slices (in one direction only) and use all the butter and generously spread it in each crack, on both walls. Then cut the bread to make diamonds and as you drag the knife through the bread, it will spread the butter into the new crevices you are cutting. This doesn't provide quite the same even coverage of butter but for a speedy version, it is a small compromise. Thank you to CJ for the tip!
