🧄 Ingredients
- Garlic - fresh or pickled for a twist. Garlic needs to be finely chopped or crushed.
- Butter, lard, or olive oil - butter is the most obvious choice. Pork lard adds a lot of flavors and is great for a change. Olive oil to make it vegan.
- Bread - we use french bread such as baguette but you can use a long loaf too or Italian ciabatta bread.

📜 Flavor Ideas

🍴 Serving
We make garlic bread when we serve up meats such as filet mignon, bbq ribs or a roast.
It's also lovely with the tomato basil soup or in fact most other soups.
Sometimes I just love to make it as a little snack. 🙂
🍱 Storing
Keep leftovers in an airtight container in your fridge but use them within days. Reheat your aromatic bread in the oven for 5 minutes before you serve it.
You can freeze your bread too. To do that, Prepare the bread with garlic butter as in the description explained.
Don't bake it, but cut it into slices instead and place it on a tray in your freezer to freeze hard. Keep them in a vacuum bag and store them in your freezer.
I wouldn't keep them longer than a month in your freezer.
To warm up frozen garlic bread, spread on a baking sheet and warm up in your oven for 20 minutes or until it's warm and not frozen.
