Garlic bread is a popular side dish that complements many meals. Whether you are serving pasta, soup, or a salad, garlic bread is the perfect addition to any dinner table. While some may buy pre-made garlic bread from the store, making it at home from a sliced loaf can be just as easy and much more delicious.

To make garlic bread with a sliced loaf, you will need just a few simple ingredients: a loaf of bread, butter or margarine, garlic, parsley, and Parmesan cheese. The type of bread you use is up to you, but a French or Italian loaf works best for this recipe.

First, preheat your oven to 375°F. While the oven is heating up, take your loaf of bread and slice it into individual slices, but make sure not to cut all the way through. You want the loaf to stay intact to hold in the butter and garlic mixture.

Next, in a small bowl, mix together about ½ cup of softened butter or margarine, 2-3 cloves of minced garlic, a handful of chopped fresh parsley, and a few tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese. The exact measurements can be adjusted to your taste preferences. The result should be a smooth and creamy mixture.

Once the butter and garlic mixture is ready, use a butter knife to spread it on both sides of each slice of the loaf. Make sure to spread it all the way to the edges to ensure maximum flavor in each bite.

Once all the slices are coated, wrap the loaf in aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the bread is heated through and the butter mixture has melted and soaked into the bread.

After the garlic bread is cooked, you can serve it immediately alongside your favorite main dish. The aroma of the garlic and butter will fill the air, and the flavor of the bread will be irresistible.

Making garlic bread with a sliced loaf is a quick and easy way to elevate any meal. The buttery, garlicky goodness of this homemade garlic bread is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So, the next time you are planning a dinner, consider making garlic bread from a sliced loaf for a simple and delicious side dish.
