Homemade Easy Italian Garlic Bread
There is nothing like the scent of toasted garlic taking over the kitchen. It has such a homey feeling. You will want to make this easy garlic bread over and over again. It is a great bread to serve with most meals but especially an Italian dish made with red sauce. It just goes hand in hand. This garlic bread recipe is buttery, garlicky, cheese and divine!
The topping for this garlic toast is a combination of butter and olive oil. The Italian seasoning add extra flavor, and the red crushed peppers add a hint of spice. We used freshly grated parmigiano reggiano and romano cheeses to add authentic Italian flavor to this garlic bread. This is not a traditional cheesy- pull apart bread that you often see. The garlic toast is not gooey or stringy. It is a warm, cheesy, garlicy divine toast that is perfect to dip in marinara sauce, dunk in your favorite soup or just have a quick snack.
Cheesy Garlic Ciabatta Bread
We love using Ciabatta bread for garlic toast. It toasts up crunchy on the outside while maintaining a chewy consistency. Alternatively, French bread is also fantastic for this recipe. It will toast up similar to Ciabatta bread.
