Homemade Garlic Bread is so easy!

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 fully heat up and the garlic to really cook a bit too. Finishing it off in the broiler allows for that golden brown and crispy garlic bread we all love!

We actually suggested Lawry’s Garlic Salt if you’re going to use garlic salt, that is what my mom used and just remove the salt in the recipe if you do use it. I’d use about 1/2-1 teaspoon. My mom was a shortcut cook, but that didn’t mean it wasn’t good food! It was still delicious, but there’s no way I couldn’t use real garlic. I use an entire bulb of garlic when I make our garlic bread too. It gets roasted and delicious!

Wilton 409-7716 Angled Icing Spatula, 13-Inch, BlackWilton 409-7716 Angled Icing Spatula, 13-Inch, BlackI like using an offset spatula to spread the butter mixture. Not only does it make it easier to spread, it really gets all of the bread. BONUS, it’s easy for my mini chef to help!

You could use a butter knife instead, but it’s not as easy to spread like this spatula. It’s my absolute favorite. We use this offset spatula for buttering things, putting cream cheese on bagels, and of course frosting cakes and cupcakes.

These icing spatulas are my favorite by far. I have 2 of them, one for me and one for my mini chef.

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

My mom would make it every Sunday and especially when we had company over. It was a family favorite and still is!

I love eating it steaming right out of the oven on its own or sometimes we top with some freshly shredded mozzarella and let it melt right over the bread. Both ways are perfect to dip into fresh sauce.

How to make Garlic Bread

Garlic Bread ingredients

  • 1 loaf of fresh bread
  • 1 bulb garlic
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon parsley
  • ½ teaspoon oregano
  • ½ teaspoon basil

  1. Preheat oven to 400
  2. Cut the loaf of bread in half lengthwise.
  3. Mix together all the remaining ingredients and spoon over the bread.
  4. Bake bread wrapped in tinfoil for 10 minutes.
  5. Once the bread is almost baked place under the broiler garlic is lightly browned and bread is crispy.

It’s a simple recipe and you could easily make it in advance by prepping the bread and storing in the fridge in morning. We love to enjoy it on its own, dipped in sauce, and of course with meatballs and pasta!

If you would like you could even do slices of bread and then smear on the garlic butter mixture evenly on each slice and then broil them that way. This way you could have nice slices. This is just a rustic way we like to make and serve it.

Serve this with a simple pasta dinner. Our favorite pasta dinners are always homemade and delicious and you must have a homemade garlic bread to go along with it!

    Do you put bread back together when wrapping in foil?

      Yes, you’d put it back together when baking in the foil. 🙂
