Garlic Bread is always a popular dish whether it be as a side-dish, starter or snack. The ingredients are simple to prepare, the cooking is fast and easy. Finally the flavour and aroma make it compelling. This recipe can be made in advance, wrapped in foil and placed in a sealed bag and frozen. Just get it out a few hours before you need it. It is that simple. Despite being a French recipe, it is superb for wiping dishes clean especially pasta dishes. Nobody wants to leave any tasty sauces behind. I make a few of these in one go to have a constant supply. My son always has a few in his freezer for emergencies.

This has to be one recipe that every home cook should knows. Goes with so many dishes it’s perfect.
I needed a quick side to go with my spaghetti and came across this recipe—thankfully! It was so easy to put together, and it baked to perfection in just 15 minutes.
I was pleasantly surprised by how a few simple ingredients created such a rich and flavourful garlic bread. The garlic was minced finely enough to blend with the butter and parsley, making it easy to spread between the slices.
If you’re a garlic fan, this recipe is a must-try. The 2 cloves give the bread a wonderful flavour without overpowering the buttery richness.
This garlic bread recipe hits all the right notes for me! The baguette stays crispy on the outside while absorbing the buttery, garlicky goodness on the inside.
I loved how easy it was to prepare, and the result was a perfectly crispy yet soft garlic bread. The parsley brought a nice earthy element. It’s such a comforting dish and would pair perfectly with anything from soup to pasta.
I loved the hint of parsley that added a touch of freshness. Super easy to make and tastes fantastic.
Thisis so much better than shop brought. Also you can produce the amount you want.
This garlic bread recipe is ideal for family dinners or gatherings. It’s simple, straightforward, and very sharable—just tear and enjoy!
The kitchen smelled heavenly while it was baking—definitely a crowd-pleaser
This is a foolproof recipe for anyone who wants the perfect garlic bread. The butter, garlic, and parsley mixture is just right—rich but not overwhelming. The baguette stays crusty, but the soft buttery centre is what makes it truly irresistible.
I made this garlic bread as a side for pasta, but it ended up stealing the show. The butter mixture seeps into each slice just perfectly, and the flavours meld so well together.
I found the amount of garlic to be spot on, but you could add more if you’re a garlic lover. Wrapping it in foil ensures that it stays moist. A winner for any dinner
I could honestly eat this on its own as a snack.
