Welcome back to the Simple Recipe Box podcast with your host, Ben Harper! Today, we’re diving into a classic favorite that’s perfect for any occasion - garlic bread. This episode is all about making irresistibly easy garlic bread that will leave your taste buds dancing. So, let’s get right into it!

First off, what do you need to whip up this delicious treat? It’s really simple. You’ll need a loaf of French bread, about three cloves of minced garlic, and half a cup of unsalted butter. Optionally, you can add some grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley for an extra touch of flavor.

Now, let’s talk about the bread. The type of bread you choose can drastically affect the crunch and softness of your garlic bread. A traditional French bread or a ciabatta works wonderfully because of their crisp crust and fluffy interior.

Moving on to the garlic - fresh is best. Minced fresh garlic gives your bread a robust and aromatic flavor that’s just irresistible. Combine this with your softened butter to create a rich, flavorful garlic butter spread. This is where the magic happens!

Here’s how you make it:

There you have it! Simple, right? This garlic bread is not only easy to make but also incredibly versatile. Serve it fresh out of the oven alongside your favorite pasta dish, soup, or salad. It’s guaranteed to be a hit.

If you have leftovers, storing them properly is key to keeping them tasty. Allow the bread to cool completely, then wrap it tightly in aluminum foil or place it in an airtight container. You can store it at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze it for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy it again, just reheat in the oven until it’s warm and crispy.

And there you go, folks! That’s how you make easy, delicious garlic bread right at home. Give this recipe a try, and I promise, it’ll become a go-to in your kitchen. Thanks for tuning in to the Simple Recipe Box podcast. Until next time, keep cooking simple and delicious meals!
