Traditional Garlic Bread Recipe
This ultimate garlic bread recipe goes with just about any dish and is perfect as the side for a main meal, with soup as as a salad topper. Leftovers are easily warmed in a toaster oven for easy snacking.
Ingredients
- 8 slices bread sourdough or sprouted
- 1/2 cup butter preferably grassfed
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 8 cloves garlic minced, preferably organic
Instructions

Melt the butter on low heat on the stove in a pan.

After the butter is melted, add the olive oil and mix well. Using a basting brush, slather on the oil mixture generously onto the slices of bread until the entire cup of fat is used.

Spread one clove's worth of minced garlic onto the each slice.
-
Bake at 350 F/ 177 C until crispy but not browned - about 15 minutes.

Serve immediately as a side dish or break into pieces to use as healthy croutons for salads. Refrigerate leftovers and rewarm in a toaster oven as needed.
