The mixture that makes up garlic bread spread is also known as compound butter. Scary kitchen terminology -- super easy to make. Garlic bread spread is made up of butter, oil, and seasoning. This one also has Parmesan cheese. So, you're welcome.
Ingredient Homemade Garlic Bread
When mixing up your spread, take note that the butter should be softened or at room temperature before you begin. This ensures the oil
For Garlic Bread Spread is so that the butter (which has a very low smoke point) doesn't burn under high heat in the oven. The oil helps Homemade Garlic Bread bake up an even golden-brown, rather than black-and-burnt. Amen for that.

Easy Homemade Garlic Bread {ready In 20 Minutes!}
The garlic for garlic bread should be minced as fine as possible, because as wonderful as garlic is, it's a tad pungent and a little bit goes a
To make garlic bread spread, mix the ingredients together using a fork, whisk, or the food processor, and it's ready for spreading! Seriously --
You can go about cutting the bread one of two ways: Cut it down the middle lengthwise or cut it crosswise into toasts. If you cut them into Garlic Toasts, you're guaranteed a crispy, crunchy exterior while the inside stays nice and soft. Yes, please.
Garlic Bread French
To cut bread into Garlic Toasts, using a sharp bread knife, cut the loaf crosswise into thick, 1 slices. If you are working with a smaller loaf (e.g. a baguette or French sticks), try cutting the slices at a bias so there is more surface area for spreading.
Acceptable and totally delicious. If this is your method of choice, simply cut the bread as you wish, proceed with the recipe as directed, and then add 2-3 minutes on to the total cook time.
Homemade Garlic Bread freezes very well! To freeze garlic bread toasts, place it in a freezer-safe zip-top bag, taking care to press out any excess air from the bag and freeze for up to 2-3 months.
Simple Roasted Garlic Bread (with Roasted Garlic Butter)
If you split the loaf lengthwise, first wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, then in a layer of aluminum foil and place in the freezer.
If you'd prefer to slice your loaf of bread down the center lengthwise, simply cut the bread as you wish, proceed with the recipe as directed, and then add 2-3 minutes on to the total cook time.Better than Dominos! For a truly religious Garlic Bread experience, skip the fancy bread and use a basic French baguette.And don’t even think about skimping on butter!
You can’t order pizza without a side of garlic bread. It would be like ordering a burger at Maccers with no fries. (Oh the sacrilege, talking about so much fast food in one post! 🙈)
Homemade Garlic Bread Baguette
And while some people dive straight for the biggest slice of pizza, I always – ALWAYS – go for the garlic bread first.
There are many ways to make garlic bread. But for me, the Dominos way will always be the best way: a baguette sliced almost all the way through, then each piece slathered with garlic butter, wrapped in foil and baked until toasty.
My garlic butter is made with2 tsp freshly minced garlic, 1/2 tsp salt and 125g / 1 stick butter. The perfect garlic-salty balance!
The Best Garlic Bread Recipe
In my world, classic Garlic Bread should always be made with stock standard supermarket or basic bakery French stick / baguette. The crust isn’t that thick, and it’s usually pretty soft rather than crispy. Once slathered with butter and baked in foil, I find it yields the perfectratio of crust crunch to soft, warm, garlic butter soaked bread.
On the other hand, a thick crust like you get with fancy artisan baguettes is no good – too much crispy crust compared to soft bread inside. Too hard to swallow!
Bread aside, I only have one other rule: please use real garlic. As much as I will rip into Dominos and Pizza Hut garlic bread with enthusiasm, there’s no denying that it has an element of sourness to it which is probably due to using jarred garlic because that’s the main difference I notice between fresh and jarred garlic. From the preservatives, I expect.
