Easy homemade garlic bread

Vietnamese version (bản tiếng Việt): click here!

I made garlic bread quite frequently these days and my roommates were addicted to it so I guess I should share the recipe. It’s gonna be short and super easy. The recipe was inspired by Bac Hai (my mom’s eldest sister): she occasionally made this as snacks for the family. The recipe is vegetarian because I use regular butter. It could be made vegan if we use vegan butter, so yeah… vegan option available!

Ingredients: (for 8 slices of bread)

• Bread: 8 slices
• Butter: 5 tablespoons
• Salt: 1/4 teaspoons
• Garlic: 5 cloves, peeled
• Garlic powder (optional): 1/2 teaspoons
• Onion powder: 1/2 teaspoons
• Dried parsley: 1 teaspoon
• Dried cilantro: 1 teaspoon

Preparation:

• Soften the butter in a small bowl by microwave for 15 seconds.
• If you want to use fresh cilantro and parsley, finely chop them until the chopped ingredients added up to 1 tablespoon for each.
• Finely chop or mince or grate the peeled garlic to the soften butter.
• Add all the seasoning to the butter and mix well to combine.
• Spread the butter mixture on one side of the bread slice.
• Preheat the oven at 375 F. Place the bread on top rack and bake at 375 F in 10 – 15 minutes (depend on how hot the oven is). And tada… you have your own garlic bread!

Total time: 20 minutes

The garlic bread slices are also great for sandwiches. I tried… and honestly… I never want to have normal bread for sandwiches again! And that is it! Hope you all enjoy this short and simple recipe!
