Garlic bread is a delicious Italian classic that is made from a loaf of crusty, white bread that is cut lengthwise and spread with a mixture of butter, garlic, and sometimes parsley, and cheese. The butter mixture can be made by combining softened butter with garlic. The mixture is then spread evenly over both halves of the bread. The bread is then baked in a preheated oven until the top is golden, and then broiled until crisp. The result is a delicious, garlicky, and maybe cheesy treat that is perfect for sharing. Enjoy the aroma of garlic and cheese wafting through your kitchen as you serve up a plate of this fragrant, savory garlic bread.
