Homemade Garlic Bread
This homemade garlic bread recipe is easy and quick to make so why not make it yourself? A few simple ingredients and 5 minutes of baking time is all you need!
Ingredients
- 2 French baguettes (see note 1)
- flat-leaf parsley (finely chopped, see note 2)
- 2 garlic cloves (pressed, see note 3)
- 2 tablespoons butter (30 grams, at room temperature)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a bowl, mix together finely chopped parsley, pressed garlic and softened butter until well combined.
- Cut the baguettes in half, lengthwise and spread the garlic butter over.
- Place the baguettes onto a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes or until the edges turn slightly crispy.
- When ready, take them out, let them cool slightly and cut into any size you like.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- I used medium French baguettes - each about 12 inches (30 centimeters) long. If you want to use a larger baguette or thick French bread, you will need to double the recipe.
- I recommend using fresh parsley for best results. If you use dried parsley, the flavor won’t be so intense - if you prefer a more subtle parsley flavor, then go ahead and use dried parsley. The quantity depends entirely up to you.
- Do not substitute garlic for garlic powder. It will not taste the same.
- You can cut the bread into larger slices, if you like.
- Note that every oven bakes differently, so keep an eye on the bread, especially when making it for the first time.
