Tips
How much garlic is on these?
Yes! In fact, don’t be afraid to go a bit crazy with the garlic on this. One of the best things about this is that you can usually use a lot of this. Two cloves for a single loaf of garlic bread is more than enough, but if you’re a fan of garlic, don’t be afraid to add more to that recipe as well.
What’s the secret to making the perfect garlic bread?
Tons of garlic is probably the first thing you must do, since this is what makes this really have that wonderful taste that people love. The second thing is you want to use shredded parmesan that’s fresh to melt this, and you’ll definitely be amazed. Just make sure that if you’re going to have this, have some mints for after the fact on hand as well, or if you like garlicky breath, then fine, don’t have that around.
Can I use this for anything other than sides?
Here’s what’s cool about garlic bread. You can have this as a side for practically every pasta dish you can think of, and all pasta dishes thrive with a side of garlic bread. But what’s really cool, is you can also use this as two slices for a sandwich to create Italian subs or meatball sandwiches if you have two slices and want to incorporate those.
You can also just use some marinara as well to dip this to create the best snack out there.
Is it good as a leftover?
Yes, it’s great as a leftover, if you have that at least. The way to do this is to put the bread in a sealable plastic bag, put it in the freezer, and as long as you use it over the next few months, you’ll have something available. If you’re holding onto this, make sure to put them at 375 in the oven until crispy and thawed too.
