I love garlic bread. It is comfort food, a childhood favorite. I enjoy making it myself because I can make it as buttery and garlicky as I want.

If you like garlic bread, this recipe is a must! I know I already mentioned how simple this garlic bread is to make, but guys, I can’t emphasize this enough…Try it! I know that it will become your new favorite because of the ease and how yummy it is!

Ingredients:

French Bread
Butter
Garlic
Salt
Dried Parsley Flakes (optional)

Buy a loaf of french bread and slice the loaf in half horizontally. If you make always make your own bread or want to…then use it!

In a mixing bowl put 1/2 c.(1 cube) of softened butter. Add salt, garlic powder, dried parsley.

Give it a mix with a spoon or spatula. I just use a regular ole spoon. Nothing fancy here!

Spread the garlic butter equally,but, generously on both sides of the bread. Lay the halves on a cookie sheet and bake in the oven at 400 degrees for 6-10 minutes.

As soon as you hear that timer sound and open the oven door and that garlicky aroma hits you, oh…heaven!

The bread has a crustiness that when you take a bite, there is a crispy crunch, yet the center will be perfectly soft! So good! Now, remember, if you like it a little darker, or crunchier..let it bake a little longer! This is just how my family likes it.

Next, while still warm, slice each half into 5 huge pieces for a total of 10 slices, or slice smaller pieces if you want. You decide!

Serve it with your favorite pasta dish. Or just eat it cause it tastes good, and you’re craving this yumminess!
