Notes

Dairy-Free Garlic Toast: If you are dairy-free, use olive oil in place of butter for Dairy-Free Garlic Bread.
Softer Garlic Toast: If you like your garlic toast softer, bake at 375 degrees for 4-6 minutes per side, instead of at 400 degrees F.
Lower Fat Modification: You can opt to only spread one side of the bread with the garlic butter, using half the amount this recipe calls for.
How to Freeze: Spread sliced bread with the garlic butter and then place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Pop the baking sheet into the freezer and freeze for 20-30 minutes, or until the garlic bread's surface if frozen solid. Remove slices of garlic bread from parchment paper and place in a freezer-safe bag and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
To Bake Garlic Toast From Frozen: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Remove as many slices of garlic toast as desired from the freezer and place it on a baking sheet, lined with parchment paper. Bake for 7 minutes on one side, flip and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes or until golden.
