Homemade Garlic Bread
Perfect to serve alongside soups, pastas and casseroles!When it comes to choosing your bread, you can go with whatever loaf you like. Just choose one that has a good amount of dough in the middle and is not too high, as it won’t cook enough the whole way through. I go for ciabatta as it works really well!Please note: I had a large ciabatta so I only made one side into garlic bread (and froze the other side). The recipe below will only make one half of a large loaf.
