Notes
- My favorite bread for garlic bread is this ciabatta bread, which can be made the same day or the day before.
- If baking bread from scratch, allow to cool at least 30 minutes before cutting.
- Don't have time to bake bread from scratch? Substitute with any large loaf of French or Italian bread from the store.
- Soften the butter by leaving it out at room temperature 30-60 minutes before mixing.
- Garlic-butter mixture can be prepared hours before baking.
- Reheat in the microwave (for softer bread) or in a 350°F oven (for crispier bread) until warm.
