Homemade Garlic Bread

In our household, no meal is complete without some kind of delicious bread side dish.

Often that means garlic bread. While it’s easy to just to grab a bag of the garlic bread that is premade from the store…it’s really not that much harder to make your own garlic bread at home.

We prefer this method to avoid any unnecessary additives, and it just tastes fresher and more delicious

You can make your own french bread pretty easily (make sure you grab a french bread pan), we usually opt to get a loaf from the store and then make the garlic spread from scratch.

This recipe only calls for a few simple ingredients, and chances are – you have them in your refrigerator and pantry right now.

We add a little bit of grated parmesan cheese to our garlic bread spread. It’s just enough for flavor, but you can certainly add more (mozzarella or provolone would be a great choice) if you want.
