Notes

Garlic bread is best served warm and crispy out of the oven. It pairs well with pasta dishes, salads, or soups. For a fun twist, try serving it with marinara sauce for dipping. If you have leftovers, wrap the garlic bread in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. To reheat, use the oven at 350°F (175°C).
