This garlic bread is the best! My family likes to have this bread with a nice bowl of pasta, but I have found that it is very versatile as a nice accompaniment to soups, stews and pasta dishes, but also during the summer with grilled chicken or fish and veggies. I have even served it as an appetizer and it was gone very, very quickly. It is delicious, easy to make and is a nice alternative to the usual “bread spread with butter and sprinkled with garlic salt” garlic bread.
Beware though…it is very garlicky (delicious) so if say, you are cooking dinner for your boyfriend for the very first time, or having a dinner for work colleagues…this is probably not the bread to make! If you have been married for a long time and know to stay away from your spouse after they consume large amounts of this bread….you are good to go!
