What are the ingredients of GARLIC BREAD RECIPE?

As I said, we need just handful of ingredients for this recipe.

THICK CRUSTY BREAD – The best kind of bread to use for this recipe is Wide French Bread. Although you can use any kind of bread that is handy for this recipe. Ciabatta is a good option for this recipe. Make sure to cut the bread into 1 inch thick slice.

BUTTER – Use salted Butter. If you are using unsalted butter then you may have to add salt to the Garlic Butter.

GARLIC – Freshly minced garlic is the best. You can use Dry Garlic powder also but then you might have to use it a lot. Fresh Garlic is the best for the best flavors.

PARSLEY – I used fresh Parsley. But you can use Dry Parsley also for this recipe.

PARMESAN CHEESE – Parmesan cheese adds to the body of the Garlic Butter and holds the ingredients together without makinng it too cheesy. I used shredded parmesan but you can use powdered parmesan too.

TIPS

• Adjust the time to how crispy you like your bread. Mine were done to perfect crispness in 4 minutes. But it can take up to 5 minutes in different models.
