Open in Pepper →Warm Garlic Bread Belongs With Every Dinner
A loaf of bread, a stick of softened butter, and a few cloves of garlic turn a plain plate of spaghetti into a real supper. It's the cheapest way I know to make everybody come to the table.
Cooks on Pepper reach for this collection on spaghetti nights, chili nights, and any evening when the soup is on and something needs to go alongside it.
Every recipe here starts with butter and garlic and goes its own way: a simple Garlic Bread on an Italian loaf, Pull Apart Garlic Bread with shredded Parmesan, Hasselback Cheesy Garlic Bread, Crescent Roll Cheesy Garlic Bread, not too garlicky garlic knots, and a low carb garlic bread made on a tortilla.
Quick Tips
- 1
Soften the butter first
Leave one stick out for 30 to 45 minutes so the garlic and parsley stir in evenly instead of tearing the bread.
- 2
Use fresh minced garlic
Two or three cloves minced fine gives a sweeter flavor than powder; add it to the butter, not straight onto the bread, so it can't scorch.
- 3
Broil at the end
Bake at 375°F until hot through, then broil 1 to 2 minutes for browned edges. Stand there and watch it, it goes fast.
- 4
Cut before you butter
Slice the loaf almost through, about every inch, so the butter runs down into the cuts and everyone pulls off their own piece.
