Description
A quick and easy recipe for a delicious homemade sourdough garlic bread that complements any pasta dish with its crispy crust and flavorful garlic butter.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 loaf big loaf of sourdough bread (Use good bakery sourdough or homemade if possible.)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (Super soft, not microwave-melted.)
- 5 to 6 cloves fresh garlic (Smashed or grated; avoid jarred unless necessary.)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (Chopped.)
- pinch Salt (Just a pinch or two.)
- Optional: extra olive oil, grated parmesan cheese, or chopped chives (For added flavor.)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Slice your sourdough in half like a sandwich, then lay it cut side up.
- In a bowl, combine the butter, garlic, parsley, and salt. Mix with a fork until thick but spreadable.
- Spread the butter mixture liberally across both halves of the bread.
- Gently press the halves back together and wrap with foil.
- Bake for 10 minutes to melt everything.
- Open the foil and return the bread to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, cut side up.
Notes
Start with good quality sourdough and be generous with the butter and garlic. Let the finished bread sit a minute or two before slicing to retain the moisture.
