Quick & Easy Homemade Garlic Bread
Simple to make, this buttery and delicious garlic bread is a great side for any dinner!
Ingredients
- 3/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp parsley flakes (optional)
- 1/8 tsp salt (optional)
- 1/8 tsp onion powder (optional)

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°.

Garlic Bread - Loaf
- With the half loaf of French or Italian bread, cut about 8 even slices but do not cut all the way through the bottom. (This will help it hold together better, and keep the garlic butter in as it is baking.)
- On both sides of the bread slices, spread the garlic butter mixture evenly.
- Wrap the bread completely in aluminum foil, and bake for 15 - 20 minutes.
- Remove the bread from the oven, and unwrap the aluminum foil.
- Allow to cool for a couple of minutes before tearing the slices off and serving.
Garlic Bread - Slices
- Cut the half loaf of French or Italian bread into about 8 even slices.
- On one side of the bread slices, spread the garlic butter mixture evenly.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and spread the slices garlic butter side up.
- Bake for 10 - 15 minutes.
