Ingredients

6 slices of white or whole wheat bread
3 tablespoons butter (softened)
2 cloves garlic (minced or grated)
1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped) or 1 teaspoon dried parsley
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon oregano (optional)
2 tablespoons grated cheese (mozzarella or parmesan, optional)

How to make Garlic Bread with Slice Bread

First, preheat your oven or toaster oven to 180°C (350°F). If you don’t have one, you can also make this on a stove pan.
In a small bowl, mix the softened butter with the minced garlic, parsley, salt, pepper, and oregano. Stir well until all the flavors are combined. If you like cheesy garlic bread, add the grated cheese to the butter mix.
Take each slice of bread and spread the garlic butter mixture evenly on one side. Make sure to cover the edges so every bite is flavorful.
Place the slices on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. If using a pan, just place them buttered side down.
Bake the bread slices in the oven for about 8–10 minutes, or until the edges turn golden and crispy. On a pan, toast them on medium heat until golden.
Once ready, remove from the oven, let them cool for a minute, and then serve warm. You can sprinkle extra parsley or cheese on top for garnish.

How to Store Leftovers

If you have leftover garlic bread, let it cool completely before storing. Place the slices in an airtight container or wrap them in foil. Store in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, you can warm them in the oven for 5 minutes or in a hot pan until crispy again. Avoid reheating in the microwave, as it can make the bread soggy.

FAQ

1. Can I make garlic bread without butter?

Yes, you can use olive oil instead of butter. It will give a slightly different flavor but still taste delicious.

2. Can I use garlic powder instead of fresh garlic?

Absolutely. If you don’t have fresh garlic, ½ teaspoon of garlic powder works well.

3. Can I make this recipe vegan?

Yes, just replace butter with vegan margarine or olive oil, and skip the cheese or use vegan cheese.

Any bread works, but white sandwich bread, whole wheat, or even multigrain bread makes a good base.

Yes, you can prepare the slices with garlic butter, freeze them on a tray, and later bake them straight from frozen for 10–12 minutes.

6. How do I make it more cheesy?

Add extra mozzarella or parmesan on top before baking. The cheese will melt and create a gooey topping.
