Description
Delicious and easy garlic bread recipe perfect for any meal!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 loaf French bread (see note #1)
- 4 cloves garlic (more as needed)
- 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter (see note #2)
- 1/2 teaspoon dry oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- freshly chopped parsley and red pepper flakes (for garnishing, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375F. Slice the bread into 1-inch thick slices, aiming for 10 pieces. I don’t use the heels.
- Using a Microplane (zester) or the smallest holes on a box grater, grate the garlic cloves into a paste. Measure out 1 teaspoon. The garlic can be very finely minced if you don’t have a zester.
- Stir the softened butter together with 1 teaspoon of garlic paste, oregano, and salt. I find that this is easiest to do with a small spatula.
- Use a spoon or knife to spread each side of the bread slices with a layer of garlic butter. Place the buttered bread evenly on a sheet pan.
- Bake at 375F for 10 minutes, or until the side touching the pan is golden.
- Flip the bread and continue toasting until the side touching the pan is golden, about 3-5 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley and red pepper flakes. Enjoy!
Notes
- Note #1: You can use any type of bread, but French bread gives the best texture.
- Note #2: Make sure the butter is softened for easy mixing.
