Questions about Garlic bread
How do you make garlic bread from scratch?
Mix softened butter with finely grated or crushed garlic, chopped parsley and a pinch of salt, then spread it over a split baguette or slices of bread. Bake at 200 °C for about 8–10 minutes, until the butter has melted and the edges are golden.
How do you stop garlic bread drying out in the oven?
Wrap a whole baguette in foil before baking at 200 °C; it will stay soft inside. Open the foil for the last couple of minutes if you want a crisp crust.
Can you freeze garlic bread?
Yes. Spread the garlic butter on the bread, wrap it well and freeze it before baking; cook it from frozen at 200 °C, allowing a few extra minutes until hot and golden. You can also freeze baked leftovers and reheat them in the oven.
What goes well with garlic bread?
Serve it alongside tomato soup, pasta with tomato sauce, lasagne or a crisp green salad. It is also useful for mopping up the sauce from mussels or a stew.
What can you use instead of butter on garlic bread?
Use olive oil mixed with crushed garlic and chopped parsley for a dairy-free version; brush it over the cut sides of the bread before baking. A plant-based spread also works, though it may brown differently from butter.
What is the difference between garlic bread and toasted garlic bread?
Toasted garlic bread is crispier and has 369 kcal per 100 g, compared with 350 kcal in garlic bread. To keep ordinary garlic bread softer, wrap it in foil while it bakes.
Can you prepare garlic bread ahead of time?
Yes. Spread the garlic butter over the bread, wrap it and keep it chilled until you are ready to bake; use it within a day for the freshest flavour. For longer storage, freeze it unbaked.
