Hi, today I am sharing an easy recipe – Delicious Garlic Bread that tastes wonderful, it’s slightly different to the normal garlic bread thanks to the addition of basil.
The bread I have used for this recipe was in my previous post – Herbes de Provence Bread however any bread of your choice can be used. If you like your garlic bread to be very garlicky I suggest you add some more and that also go for the chilli flakes 🙂
The original recipe for this Delicious Garlic Bread can be read on a blog called Kitchen Konfidence and here is the link to the post OMG Garlic Bread it is well worth a look at. I reworked Brandon’s garlic bread in a slightly different way, I think is going to be my go to garlic bread from now on 🙂 Pop over and have a look at his blog its wonderful and some really fantastic ideas and photos.
I have given you an estimated number on the slices of bread as this will also depend on the size of bread you are using. This Delicious Garlic bread is really worth a try and and making extra of the garlic spread would not go to waste.
I hope you have a great day and enjoy xx
