This is a super simple recipe that my mother used to make all the time. She would use regular garlic salt instead of real chunks of garlic. Baking your homemade garlic bread covered in foil allows the bread to heat up fully and the garlic to cook a bit too. Finishing it off in the broiler allows for that golden brown and crispy garlic bread we all love!

The result is loaded garlic bread, and it goes fast! Whenever I make it while entertaining and at parties, I make at least two full loaves. It’s always a hit.

Garlic bread ingredients

• Italian Bread or Baguette – We love using a fresh loaf of bread from the bakery section, or you could use our French Bread Recipe.
• Garlic – We use an entire bulb of garlic. You could also use granulated garlic instead.
• Butter – To make this dairy-free, we use Country Crock plant butter.
• Olive Oil – Don’t have olive oil? We’ve also used avocado oil in a pinch.
• Salt, Parsley, Oregano, Basil – These herbs and spices add a ton of flavor to garlic bread.

How to make Garlic Bread

For the full ingredient amount and full instructions, see the recipe card below.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Next, you’ll slice the loaf of bread in half lengthwise.

Mix the remaining ingredients in a bowl and then spread both sides of the bread.

Place the bread back together and then wrap it in foil and back.

Sandwich the bread together, and bake the bread wrapped in aluminum foil for 10 minutes.

After the 10 minutes are up, you can carefully remove the bread from the oven and carefully take the foil off about 5 minutes after to allow the food to cool.

Remove the bread from the foil and place it inside up on the baking sheet without foil.

Place bread under the broiler until the garlic is slightly browned and the bread is crisp, about 1-2 minutes.
