Buttery homemade garlic bread is easy to make with just a few simple ingredients! It's freezer-friendly and is a great side dish for any dinner.

Ingredients

1 loaf French or Italian bread (approx. 24" long) ($2.99)

6 Tbsp butter, room temperature ($0.75)

2 Tbsp olive oil ($0.32)

4 cloves garlic, minced ($0.32)

2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley ($0.22)

1/8 tsp salt ($0.01)

1/4 tsp garlic powder ($0.02)

Instructions

1 Preheat the oven to 400ºF / 200C / 180C fan or Gas Mark 6. In a bowl, stir together the room-temperature butter, olive oil, minced garlic, garlic powder, chopped parsley, and salt until relatively smooth (a few small lumps of butter are okay).

2 Cut the loaf in half, into two 12" long pieces, then cut each piece open lengthwise. Lay the bread on a baking sheet cut sides facing up. Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over the open surfaces of the bread.*

3 Bake the bread for 10-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy. Bake for less time if you prefer a softer garlic bread, and more time if you prefer a crispier garlic bread. Cut the bread into 2-inch sections and serve hot.
