- Remove the butter to reach room temperature to ease the mixing of the garlic butter spread.
- The amount of garlic can be increased or reduced to adapt to how much of the pungent flavour you want to add to your bread.
- Once baked, broil the bread for extra crisp and golden edges.
- Make garlic bread ahead of time- once you have the garlic butter spread, bring the two pieces of the halved garlic bread together. Wrap in foil and refrigerate. 1 hour before serving time remove them from the fridge and let them reach room temperature. Spread the bread open on a baking sheet, add extra garlic spread and bake as instructed in the recipe.
