How to Make Homemade Garlic Bread

For years I used to love the baguette version of garlic bread you could buy frozen from a supermarket, then you heat it up in then oven, but I think I ate too much and now I can’t stand it! So a few years ago my wonderful girlfriend started making homemade garlic bread, which is easy to prepare.

It is important to note you don’t need posh bread to make this. We regularly use normal white sliced bread, but also at times will use homemade bread or whatever we like at the time from a bakery. The bread in the photos was a cheap Tesco’s white crusty bread mix I made the day before.

Note: Children require the help and supervision of an adult to make this dish / recipe.

 

Ingredients for four slices:

• Garlic granules (half a teaspoon)
• Mixed herbs (half a teaspoon)
• Butter / Spread (an over generous tablespoon helping)
• Four slices of bread

 

Step 1 – Prepare the garlic butter.

All you need to do is take half a teaspoon of garlic granules, then half a teaspoon of mixed herbs and place them in a bowl.

We use different butters / spreads, this time it was a Tesco’s ‘Totally Butterly Spread’, but whatever you use take a really generous helping with a tablespoon.

Then mix the butter / spread in with the garlic and herbs.

 

Step 2 – Put the garlic butter onto the bread.

Take your slices of bread, in this case it was four chunky slices of homemade bread and spread the garlic butter thickly over the bread.

 

Step 3 – Grill until ready.

Then place the bread onto the grill and cook until ready, which won’t take long.

 

Et voilà!

 

Serving suggestions

Homemade garlic bread goes with a mixture of dishes, from accompany italian food, to eating with jacket potato and salads, else with other dishes. It is cheap to make and in my humble opinion is superior to shop bought versions.
