Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 stick butter unsalted softened
  • 1-1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp parsley
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp shredded parmesan cheese
  • 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese to top the garlic bread (optional)

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients except the mozzarella.
    1 stick butter unsalted, 1-1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp parsley, 1/2 tsp salt, 2 tbsp shredded parmesan cheese
  • Using your hand mixer, mix the ingredients until butter is smooth and everything is well combined.

Using Garlic Spread

  • Preheat your oven to 400 F.
  • Spread the garlic spread in a thick layer over your bread of choice ( I use my Italian Bread Recipe). Top with mozzarella if you wish.
  • Add to sheet pan or on foil. Bake for 8-12 minutes (I do about 10 minutes) until the edges are golden and cheese is melted.

Notes

If using salted butter, you may prefer to cut back on the added salt. Just give the spread a quick taste and determine if you want salt added before adding the additional.
 
Freezer Garlic Bread:
this makes excellent prep ahead freezer garlic toast without the hefty list of ingredients the store bought has!
Make as noted above. Before baking- simply freezer in a freezer safe container. Bake as directed above directly from frozen. May take closer to the 12 minute mark when baking from frozen.
I use my Italian Bread Machine Recipe for freezer garlic toast- just 5 ingredients and dumped into a machine!
