There aren’t too many people who don’t like garlic bread. It comes in all shapes and sizes and you’ll find it on menus in all types of eateries – from pizza bars to five star restaurants. The type of bread used, and the way it’s presented may differ, but they all have one thing in common – garlic.
My garlic bread recipe is very easy to make at home – and you can have it prepared and cooked in ten minutes!
There are two types I generally make. The French stick garlic bread recipe – which looks like this:-
…and Turkish bread garlic bread recipe – which looks like this:-
I use a couple of methods for cooking garlic bread.
- The first is to wrap the bread in foil and cook on the oven shelf – I usually do this with the French stick garlic bread.
- The second is to leave the bread uncovered on an oven tray – I usually do this with the Turkish bread garlic bread.
Garlic Bread Recipe – Ingredients
- Bread of choice
- Garlic – crushed – as much as you like! (I use one or two cloves per French Stick/Turkish Bread)
- Your usual spread (butter, margarine, etc)
- Chopped fresh herbs (whatever you have) – or dried basil or other herb of your choice (try different ones)
Garlic Bread Recipe – Method
- Heat oven to moderately hot
- Slice bread according to how you’re going to cook it (see photos above)
- Mix together spread, herbs and garlic
- Spread on bread
- Wrap bread with foil (optional)
- Bake in oven for 5-10 mins until bread is crisp and spread mixture has melted
Tip – make more spread mixture than you need. Put in an air-tight container in the fridge and it’s ready to use next time. (It wont last indefinitely, but a week should be okay).

Garlic bread goes with many of my dinner in ten minutes recipes, but it’s especially nice with Stir Fry Lamb with Tomatoes and Pesto.
