FAQ
Can I use pre-minced garlic?
Yes, but fresh garlic gives the best flavor. If using jarred minced garlic, use 1 teaspoon per clove.

What type of bread works best?
A French baguette or Italian loaf is ideal because of its crispy crust and soft interior.

How do I make garlic bread without an oven?
You can cook it on a stovetop! Heat a large skillet over medium heat, place buttered bread slices face-down, and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

This homemade garlic bread is quick, easy, and bursting with buttery, garlicky goodness—perfect for any meal!
