Garlic Bread Recipe Herbs

A loaf of this Easy Garlic Herb Bread is a delicious addition to every meal. It is so simple to prepare and makes your kitchen smell so good as it bakes.

One of our favorite things about going out to eat at certain restaurants, like Cheesecake Factory, is the bread that comes out before the meal. There is just something about warm bread slathered with butter. Am I right?

Of course, the struggle every time is not filling up on all the bread before the actual meal gets there. Sometimes we are smart and split an entree, just so we can fill up on bread and still have room for cheesecake.

The boys in our house love having garlic bread whenever I make this Meat Lover's Pizza Skillet Ravioli. Sometimes I just buy a loaf of frozen garlic bread or Texas French Toast and call it good.

And other times I like to make my own homemade garlic bread. It's actually quite easy to do because I usually have most of the ingredients on hand already.

The only thing I have to stop and pick up is a loaf of inexpensive fresh bread from the grocery store. I love that I can add extra butter and garlic when I make my own.

How To Make Perfect Garlic Bread (no Fail Recipe)

This Homemade Garlic Bread is so easy, that you’ll never grab a grocery store version again! With a fresh loaf of Italian bread, real garlic, and butter, the flavor cannot be rivaled! The addition of parsley brightens up every slice. It’s perfect for company!

This simple herb garlic bread is not dripping with butter but still packed with pure garlic deliciousness. The addition of Italian parsley adds a bit of color along with an underlying freshness.

Garlic And Herb Bread

There are a couple of techniques for making homemade garlic bread. One way is to slice your loaf horizontally, making two long pieces. Then smear the garlic butter mixture on both cut sides of the loaf. Alternatively, and the method used for this bread, is to cut 1-inch slices almost all the way through the loaf. Then spread the garlic butter in between each slice. Whichever way you slice your bread, the next step is to wrap the bread in foil, and bake until the bread is warmed through, and the garlic butter is melted. Very simple.

Make-ahead tip: You can make this early in the day, wrap and keep at room temperature, then bake up right before dinner.

At 350 degrees, this garlic bread only takes 15-20 minutes to heat through. If there’s room in the oven while you have another dish baking at the same temperature, just add this homemade garlic bread during the last 20 minutes of baking time.

Swirled Garlic Herb Bread.

Growing up, our menus had certain components. An entree was a given along with a vegetable. Sometimes we had a tossed green salad, and there was always a starch.

The latter rotated between potatoes and rice most nights, but often there would be a plate of sliced bread which we’d smear with softened butter if we were still hungry. Garlic bread was rare and always a special addition. Making this herbed version reminded me of what a treat having a couple of slices with dinner. I will be adding this easy garlic bread recipe to our menu all year long.

This homemade garlic bread recipe requires super simple ingredients, so trust me when I say you’ll back to it time and time again. Here’s what you’ll need to make it:

If you like cheesy garlic bread, feel free to add 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese or 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella! You’ll sprinkle it on in the last 2 minutes of baking (so that it doesn’t get too crispy on top).

Garlic

If you like crispier garlic bread, bake it for 3-5 minutes more (but watch it carefully so that it doesn’t get too toasted). If you like it softer, take it out closer to 10 minutes. You can also wrap the bread in aluminum foil before baking it if you like softer garlic bread.
