Garlic Bread

Garlic Bread Variations

Want to change it up? Here are a few delicious ways to upgrade your garlic bread:

• 🧀 Cheesy Garlic Bread – Sprinkle grated mozzarella or Parmesan before baking.
• 🌿 Herb Garlic Bread – Add dried oregano, thyme, or rosemary to the butter.
• 🌶️ Spicy Garlic Bread – Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
• 🥖 Garlic Breadsticks – Use pizza dough and shape into sticks for dipping.
• 🧈 Vegan Garlic Bread – Swap out the butter for plant-based margarine or olive oil.

What to Serve with Garlic Bread

Garlic bread is the perfect companion for:

• 🍝 Pasta dishes (spaghetti, lasagna, fettuccine Alfredo)
• 🥣 Soups (tomato, minestrone, creamy mushroom)
• 🥗 Salads (Caesar, garden, Caprese)
• 🍕 Pizza night (because carbs on carbs just makes sense)

Pro Tips for Success

• Use fresh garlic for the most intense flavor. Garlic powder can work in a pinch but won’t offer the same bold kick.
• Don’t skimp on the butter—it carries all the flavor.
• Choose the right bread: A crusty loaf with a soft interior works best.

Final Thoughts

Homemade Garlic Bread is one of those recipes that proves simple can still be sensational. With its buttery texture, crispy edges, and rich garlicky flavor, it’s more than just a side—it’s often the first thing to disappear at the table.

Next time you’re planning dinner, don’t forget the garlic bread. It just might steal the spotlight.
