The Best GARLIC BREAD

Preparation: 10 mins
Cook time: 10- 15 mins

Do you know the secret to good garlic bread? Garlic!!
I like to make a tub of garlic butter so I can store it in the fridge and I can use it for other dishes or just with avocado on toast. If you like you can use a 125g tub of butter and half the ingredients. Don’t forget to label your tube of garlic butter if you are storing it in the fridge (it doesn’t go great with honey on toast!!)

  • 125g sourdough Vienna loaf or a French stick
  • 300g Butter (if salted you can skip adding salt)
  • 10 cloves of Roasted Garlic/ or 8 cloves of pureed garlic
  • 2 tablespoons of Parsley (dried or fresh)
  • 2 tablespoons of Basil (dried or fresh)
  • 2 tablespoons of Oregano (dried or fresh)
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • 6 tablespoons of grated Parmesan or Romano cheese (Optional)
  1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees C
  2. Empty the tub of butter (make sure it is soft) in to a bowl
  3. Puree your garlic, or roast your garlic. (Please see roasted garlic recipe)
  4. Add garlic to the butter and mix well with a fork.
  5. Add herbs, and salt and pepper to taste to butter mixture.
  6. Slice your bread on an angle into medium size slices.
  7. Spread a generous amount of garlic butter on each side of the bread slices making sure you go all the way to the edge.
  8. Sprinkle each slice with grated Parmesan cheese.
  9. Wrap in tin foil and bake in preheated oven for approximately 12 mins.
