- Mix in chopped fresh parsley.
- Brush over bread slices and place, butter side up, onto the baking sheet.
- Bake for 7 minutes. Turn oven to broil for the last 2 minutes, keeping an eye on the bread so that it gets lightly browned but not burned.

Recipe Tips and Tricks:
Use real butter and salted butter is best. If you only have unsalted butter, add 1/4 teaspoon salt to the butter and garlic mixture.
If you want more flavor, stir 1 tablespoon of Mediterranean Seasonings or Italian Seasonings in with the butter.
For soft garlic bread, wrap the baking sheet with foil before baking and skip the broiling at the end.
Use a microplane grater for the garlic. This will give you the most garlic flavor without having chunky bits of garlic in your butter.
Buy several loaves of bread from the bakery and freeze one to have on hand. Bread will thaw quickly at room temperature for toasting.

I was just thinking…..How would Granulated Garlic or Garlic Powder work? Just add a bit to the butter and simmer for a few minutes.
Hi Ed,
I’ve made it like that many times. I will have to update the notes with that info. Thanks for the reminder.
