Garlic Bread
Crisp-edged, butter-garlic bread with a cheese option — the 20-minute side that disappears before the pasta is served.
Ingredients
Method
- Mix butter, garlic, herbs, and salt into a spread.
- Cut the bread deep (not through) or into slices.
- Spread the garlic butter generously between slices and on top.
- Bake at 200°C for 8-10 minutes until crisp and golden.
- For cheesy: add mozzarella for the last 4 minutes of baking.
Notes
Spread the butter to the very edges — unbuttered corners are a crime against garlic bread.
