Hello friends today I am going to share with you my favorite restaurant style garlic bread recipe. Very simple to make friends, and I promise you, you are going to love it! All you need is bread, garlic, butter, finely chopped basil and parsley. And let's not forget grated Parmesan Reggiano. Can't get any simpler than that!Let's get started!
Cut the bread into slices about 75% to 85% without going through the bread. Using a spatula butter the inside of each cuts with as much seasoned butter as you like!
Wrap with Aluminum wrap and bake for 15 minutes.
Unwrap and brush with more seasoned butter and Parmesan Reggiano.
Return to the oven on a cookie sheet (not in aluminum paper) for 5 more minutes.
*They call it a French baguette at the store but it is more like a dense Italian bread. Not as much air as the French version. And for this recipe a more dense, doughy and heavy bread works best.

To Make Your Garlic Bread Ahead of Time – Here are a few tips
The best way to prepare garlic bread ahead of time is to spread the softened butter and seasoning mixture into the sliced bread, be sure to cover the top and sides with the mixture and then wrap it tightly in foil.Store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 or 4 days, or until ready to bake. When ready to serve, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the wrapped bread for 10-15 minutes, or until it is heated through and the bread is crispy.
Storing and Freezing Leftover Garlic Bread
Leftover garlic bread can be stored in an airtight container or wrapped in foil or plastic wrap to keep it fresh. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.To freeze your garlic bread, wrap it tightly in foil or plastic wrap, or place it in an airtight container or freezer bag. Garlic bread can be frozen for up to 3 months. To reheat frozen garlic bread that was previously baked, place in a 350°F (175°C) preheated oven and bake the wrapped bread for 10-15 minutes, or until it is heated through and the bread is toasty.If your garlic bread was prepared beforehand and not baked, just frozen, pop the foil-wrapped bread into a 375°F (190°C) preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until it is heated through and the bread is crispy.
