You’re probably thinking, “Does anyone really need a recipe for garlic bread?” Truth is, no, you don’t need a recipe for buttery, garlicky bread. But does it hurt to have one more garlic bread recipe? Of course not!

After all, you simply can’t go wrong with bread slathered with a butter garlic mixture. And when you sprinkle salty Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley on top, well, you’ve got one fantastic complement to your winner dinner.

So even if you have your tried-and-true garlic bread recipe, we really think that you should give this one a try.
Garlic bread is such a common side dish, it’s possible to forget about it sometimes. We’re always featuring a bunch of veggie side dishes or salads, but some dinners really call for simple and reliable garlic bread. Crunchy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and oozing with flavor.

We like to dunk this in soups or eat alongside a thick, hearty stew, but in all honesty, you can find us nibbling on this for a snack.
