Looking for a quick side dish for your dinner table?
Find out how to make garlic bread with sliced bread using just 5 simple ingredients that most people will already have in their cupboards and have the perfect side dish ready in just a few minutes of prep time.
Garlic bread is one of my favourite dishes to eat at any and all times. The scrumptiousness of the bread with that sharp burst of garlic in every bite can truly make your mouth water.
Unfortunately however, not everyone may have the time to prepare authentic garlic bread made with french bread or time to go to the shops and pick up some garlic bread from the freezer section of the grocery store.
Especially if you’re just looking to have a quick bite.
In this post, I’ll show you how to quickly one of my favorite recipes – homemade garlic bread with sliced bread. It’s golden brown and soft garlic bread with a rich garlic flavor that everyone will love!
It’s so easy and delicious that you’re going to keep coming back to this recipe every now and then!
This recipe is also perfect for using up bread that’s not soft enough for sandwiches anymore or bread that’s about to go stale.
Is store-bought garlic bread healthy?
Store-bought garlic bread is often made with artificial butter and preservatives, so it’s definitely not a healthy snack.
Plus, garlic bread is one of those foods that you need to eat hot and fresh, not sitting at some shelf for days!
Since it’s so easy to make your own crispy garlic bread with white bread, you should save the money and try this simple recipe instead!
Should I use fresh garlic or garlic powder?
You can use both fresh garlic and garlic powder, but I often prefer garlic powder.
The problem with fresh garlic is that no matter how finely you mince it, it may not get evenly distributed on the bread.
But mixing some garlic powder with butter and spreading it on the bread means that the taste of garlic is infused in every bite.
Mincing the garlic also adds an extra step to the recipe and I’m often too lazy to mince garlic and then do extra washing.
How to make garlic bread with sliced bread:
What you’ll need to make the homemade garlic toast recipe:
6 slices of regular sliced bread (or keto sliced bread)
1/3 cup of unsalted butter (at room temperature)
3 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried parsley (or 1 tbsp of fresh parsley)
1 tbsp parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp salt
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400F (200C). Prepare the bread by placing the required amount of slices onto a baking sheet.
2. While the oven reaches the desired temperature, let’s prepare our garlic butter mixture. Into a bowl, add your softened butter, garlic powder, dried parsley, salt and parmesan cheese.
3. Mix everything thoroughly until you have a soft, rich garlic butter mixture with those hints of green from the parsley. Spread this equally on side of each slice of bread.
4. Place the bread slices into the oven and broil for 3 minutes at 400F. Then carefully turn it over using a fork or tongs(don’t burn your fingers!) and broil the other side for 3 minutes as well.
