    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. 

    Best Bread to use for Garlic Toast

    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. 

    How to make garlic bread

    INGREDIENTS  

    unsalted butter very soft

    Romano cheese finely grated

    Parmesan cheese finely grated

    olive oil

    fresh minced garlic

    fresh parsley chopped - can use dried parsley flakes

    Italian seasoning

    red crushed pepper

    fresh ground black pepper

    Ciabatta rolls - French bread will work great as well

    INSTRUCTIONS 

    Cut the Ciabatta bread in half.

    Place remaining ingredients into a mixing bowl and mix until well combined. You should have a creamy, easily spreadable consistency.

    Spread the garlic mixture evenly onto the Ciabatta rolls.

    Toast the Ciabatta rolls. Toast until golden brown. Most toasters or ovens vary, 5-7 minutes is ideal on the toast setting but it can vary on your appliance. Keep an eye on it.
