Notes
Always start with your favorite type of bread because that's the same type of read you'l end up with.
UseRoasted Garlicfor the BEST garlic flavor.
Add your taste by using either butter or olive oil, and use your favorite herbs.
Parmesan cheese is used for flavor, not for the cheesy stretchy effect.
If you want cheese garlic bread, spread a layer (1 cup) of shredded mozzarella cheese over the tops of the garlic bread before slicing. Return back to the oven for 3 minutes until it melts.
If you prefer a harder/crunchier crust and a soft inside, bake the garlic bread uncovered for 8 minutes longer.
Store the whole loaf of garlic bread wrapped well in the freezer for up to 3 months. Deforst over the counter or wrapped in foil in the oven at 350 degrees for 5 minutes.
