Notes

  • Tip 1: Store leftover Garlic Bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. It’s best when fresh but can still be enjoyed later.
  • Tip 2: Yes, you can freeze Garlic Bread! Wrap it tightly in foil and place it in a freezer bag. It can last for up to three months. Just reheat from frozen.
  • Tip 3: This Garlic Bread pairs beautifully with pasta dishes, salads, and soups. It’s also great on its own with a dipping sauce.
  • Tip 4: Substitute butter with a vegan alternative to make this recipe suitable for vegans.
  • Tip 5: Get creative! Add different cheeses or herbs to customize your Garlic Bread experience.
