Ingredients
Scale
For the Dough:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (or whole wheat)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)
For the Garlic Butter:
- ½ cup butter, softened (or vegan butter)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
Optional Additions:
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella (for cheesy garlic bread)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano or rosemary (for extra flavor)
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (for a spicy kick)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add milk, stirring until a dough forms. Knead lightly for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
- Make the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix softened butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley until well combined.
- Shape the Bread: Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a ½-inch thick rectangle. Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly, then fold the dough in half, pressing lightly to seal in the flavor.
- Choose a Cooking Method:
- Oven: Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
- Skillet: Cook over medium heat for 4-5 minutes per side until crispy.
- Air Fryer: Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes until golden.
- Serve & Enjoy: Let the bread cool slightly before slicing. Sprinkle with extra parsley or Parmesan for a finishing touch!
Notes
- For a vegan version, use plant-based milk and vegan butter.
- For gluten-free garlic bread, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend.
- To store leftovers, wrap in foil and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for the best texture.
- Make it extra cheesy by adding mozzarella or Parmesan before baking!
