How to Make Easy Garlic Bread

  • Place bread or buns cut side up on a baking sheet.  Cover with a layer of butter, covering the entire surface.

  • Sprinkle with powdered Parmesan cheese, garlic powder and dried parsley or herb of your choice.

  • Place under the broiler for a few minutes.  Watch it closely so it doesn’t burn. Remove it from the oven when it gets bubbly and begins to brown around the edges.

  • Slice the bread into serving size pieces and you are ready to enjoy. It is so easy and the perfect side to add to any meal.  Use whatever bread you happen to have on hand.

Pair This With

  • Sausage and Tomato Pasta
  • Herb Pasta
  • Lasagna Casserole.
  • Chicken Spaghetti with Red Sauce
  • Baked Ziti
  • Brown Butter Pasta

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I freeze easy garlic bread?

You can freeze it before baking it or after. Wrap it airtight in plastic wrap and then in foil. Thaw at room temperature or in the refrigerator and then place under broiler if you froze prior to baking. If the bread is already baked, wrap it in foil and rewarm in a 250 degree F oven for 5-10 minutes or until heated through.

    I’ll be trying this today. I’m making a pot of spaghetti and I have no store-bought garlic bread or a loaf of French/Italian bread. But I do have hoagie and hot dog rolls. Can’t wait to see and taste ’em. Thanx for the quick and easy recipe.
