Try this no-fail recipe for how to make garlic bread perfectly every time! Crusty on the outside, chewy on the inside, and packed with big flavor thanks to a delicious extra virgin olive oil, fresh herbs, and garlic mixture.
Garlic bread is one of the easiest little appetizers to make, yet I’ve eaten my fair share of greasy, limp garlic bread. Even worse, I’ve had some where the bread had an okay bite, but the garlic was too burned and bitter, leaving an unpleasant taste in my mouth. Have you been there?
This ciabatta garlic bread recipe starts with a simple olive oil sauce made of good extra virgin olive oil, garlic, and herbs. You’ll apply the olive oil sauce to your bread using a brush – this will evenly spread the olive oil on the bread, giving it good flavor and ensuring the best texture, none of that greasy stuff.

And to achieve that “crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside” result we’re all looking for, and without burning the garlic (very important), you’ll first wrap the loaf of bread in foil to bake for the first 10 minutes. Then, you’ll unwrap it to finish baking with the “flesh” side of the bread exposed. (I like to add a sprinkle of parmesan cheese at this point before putting the bread back in the oven, but you can omit the cheese for a vegan option.)
When you see lightly charred edges on your homemade garlic bread, and bits of the cheese turning a nice golden brown, your bread is ready!
I used a loaf of ciabatta bread (about 1 pound). Traditionally, ciabatta is baked with a hard crust while maintaining a softer texture on the inside. Shaped like a slipper, hence the name ciabatta, it's a sturdy bread that offers a wide, flat surface (wider than French baguette), so it offers more room to spread my herby olive oil, plus the holes in the bread are perfect for catching the bits of garlic and herbs for great flavor.

If you can’t find ciabatta, any rustic long loaf bread or French baguette will still work in this garlic bread recipe. Your baking time may vary a little depending on the bread you choose.
With just a few ingredients, you can have homemade garlic bread in 20 minutes or so! Here's how you make it (printer-friendly recipe below):
By swapping out parmesan cheese for nutritional yeast, you can easily turn this recipe into vegan garlic bread. Follow the recipe as is, but instead of sprinkling parmesan cheese, sprinkle ½ to 1 tablespoon of nutritional yeast on each half of your ciabatta. Since this garlic bread recipe uses extra virgin olive oil instead of butter, the rest of the recipe stays the same.

Alternatively, since so little cheese is used, you can leave it out altogether. The garlic bread will taste just as rich and flavorful!

This easy garlic bread recipe is the perfect starter to a comforting Italian dinner like cacio e pepe, spaghetti puttanesca, chicken piccata, scallop pasta or shrimp fra diavolo. By itself, it's great with my homemade spaghetti sauce for dipping.
No Knead Herb Infused Ciabatta Bread
And if you like, ciabatta garlic bread makes a great vehicle to sop up thick sauces or soups and stews, like Crockpot beef stew, sausage and lentil stew, meatball soup, and tomato basil soup.
Yes, you can freeze garlic bread! In fact, freezing is the best option to store garlic bread long-term. Wrap the bread in foil and place it in freezer-safe zip-top bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, place garlic bread on a baking sheet (directly from the freezer; no need to thaw) and warm in a 375 degrees F heated oven until hot and crispy.
If you know you’ll be finishing up any leftovers within a few days, keep the homemade garlic bread on your kitchen counter. Garlic bread can be kept at room temperature, wrapped in foil, for 2 days. It should not be refrigerated. It sounds counterintuitive, but refrigerating garlic bread dries it out faster and makes it stale.
Cheesy Herb Bread Recipe
Easy garlic bread recipe with my no-fail technique for getting a perfectly crunchy outside and chewy inside! This lighter garlic bread uses olive oil instead of butter, and loads of herbs for bold flavor. I use a 1-pound ciabatta loaf, but any rustic Italian bread or French baguette would work well. For vegan garlic bread, omit the cheese or substitute it with nutritional yeast.

So what does it mean to bake with steam? The purpose of steam for breads such as these ciabatta is to hydrate starch molecules, allowing the bread to rise before setting the crust. The result is an interior with those iconic air pockets and a crisp, slightly chewy crust. And that beautiful exterior sheen? Also thanks to steam. This means you can put away your spray bottles, ice, and cast-iron pans. The technology of the SHARP SuperSteam+™ Built-In Wall Oven (SSC2489DS) can help you get that same crust, only faster, and it’s just at the touch of a button.
