Crusty oven toasted bread warmed with Parmesan cheese and loads of garlic taste is a mouth explosion of flavor.
This particular garlic bread is well….garlicy. I am talking, if you do not like garlic, its not for you.
There are also a few rounds of changes that are pretty easy to make and I am noting them below for those people that are a little more comfortable experimenting in the kitchen. This particular oven baked bread is about as easy as it gets and will have you eating garlic parmesan bread in under 15 minutes or less.
- minced garlic
- fresh Parsley
- butter
- Italian Bread (or similar)
- Grated Parmesan Cheese*
Garlic and Herb Parmesan Bread
Step 1: Prepping the Bread
- To get started, preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Cut the bread of choice open face, where the inside of the bread is facing up on a sheet pan.
Step 2: Prepping the Garlic Parmesan Mixture
- Combine grated Parmesan Cheese, fresh Parsley leaves, and minced garlic in a bowl and stir to combine.
- Melt down 1 full stick of butter in a pan. Once melted, remove from heat an pour Parmesan mixture into pan.
- Mix well until all butter and Parmesan mixture is incorporated together.
Step 3: Combining Parmesan Garlic Butter & Bread
- Now transfer Parmesan Garlic butter to the open pieces of bread, making as thin or as thick as you like.
- Please note that depending on how thick you spread the mixture will dictate how many bread pieces you ultimately get out of this recipe.
- As it stands, a fairly thick mixture gets about half an Italian bread made.
Step 4: Oven Toasting
- Place sheet pan into oven on 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
- To further brown bread, kick oven over to BROIL on low for approximately 2 minutes or HIGH on 1.
- Please watch if you move to broil as the heat always moves quicker than you realize and run the risk of burning perfectly done bread.
- Let cool a few minutes, cut and serve while hot.
Tips for Easy Garlic Bread
How do you make Garlic Bread Extra Crusty?
The crusty bits around the edges ARE the best part. If you want more of those, simply melt the butter around the edges and NOT the cheese mixture. Leaving open spaces with just butter allows the bread to crisp up in those areas. I recommend only centering the Garlic Parmesan mixture and leaving an inch around sides of bread for extra crunch.
