Nothing beats homemade garlic bread!! Takeout will never taste as good because the garlic is not fresh so the preservatives give it a sour flavour.

Ingredients
  • ▢ 1 French stick / baguette , ~ 60cm / 2ft long (Note 1)
  • ▢ 125 g / 1 US stick unsalted butter , softened
  • ▢ 2 tsp fresh garlic , very finely minced (~3 – 4 cloves, pack the teaspoon)

Notes

Using finely minced fresh garlic not only infuses the butter with bold flavor, but it also ensures an even distribution throughout the bread, allowing each bite to burst with garlicky goodness. The moisture from the butter helps to soften the garlic, mellowing its harshness while enhancing its aromatic qualities, ensuring that your Garlic Bread is both rich and balanced.
