Better-Than-Domino’s Garlic Bread Recipe
Ingredients:
- For the Garlic Butter:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 4-6 cloves garlic, minced (adjust to taste)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried parsley)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (for a bit of heat)
- For the Bread:
- 1 large loaf of French bread or Italian bread (about 12 inches)
- Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Make the Garlic Butter:
- In a medium bowl, mix together the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) until well combined.
3. Prepare the Bread:
- Slice the loaf of bread in half lengthwise. Place the halves cut-side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Spread the Garlic Butter:
- Generously spread the garlic butter mixture over the cut sides of the bread. Use all of the butter for maximum flavor!
5. Add Cheese (Optional):
- If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the garlic butter.
6. Bake the Garlic Bread:
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the butter is melted. For extra crispiness, you can broil the bread for an additional 1-2 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
7. Serve:
- Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm, and enjoy your homemade garlic bread!
Tips:
- Storage: Any leftovers can be wrapped tightly and stored in the refrigerator. Reheat in the oven for best results.
- Variations: Feel free to add other herbs like thyme or basil, or mix in some shredded mozzarella for an extra cheesy version.
