Homemade Garlic Bread
This is a straightforward method for making classic garlic bread with a soft interior and a crispy, cheesy top. The key is making a flavorful garlic butter that gets spread all the way to the edges of the bread. A final, quick blast under the broiler is what melts and lightly browns the cheese.
Ingredients
- 1 loaf of French or Italian bread
- 10 tbsp unsalted butter softened
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp dried parsley
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Mix softened butter with garlic powder, dried parsley, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Slice bread lengthwise and spread garlic butter mixture evenly on cut sides.
- Bake on baking sheet 8-10 minutes until butter melts and edges are lightly toasted.
- Switch oven to broil and sprinkle bread with Pecorino Romano.
- Broil 1-2 minutes until cheese melts and turns golden.
- Slice and serve immediately.
Notes
Watch bread closely under broiler to prevent burning.
