Make-Ahead Garlic Bread

I used to buy frozen garlic bread from the grocery store. Regularly. And on occasion I’d make it from scratch. I was looking for something better and easier. This make-ahead garlic bread makes sure I always have great garlic bread on hand and for a better price. And it tastes a whole lot better too! Oh, and even better, I can make it as buttery and as garlicky as I want!

Make-Ahead Garlic Bread

Perfect From The Freezer

I was afraid that all the buttery goodness in the topping would make this make-ahead garlic bread stick together. I feared I’d open the door to a huge block of bread stuck together. I’d be unable to even chisel a single piece away. But no! The pieces are frozen individually first, making sure they don’t stick. I keep them in a large one gallon freezer bag, always on hand for dinner!

  • Place the bread slices on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 15 minutes or until the butter isn't tacky.
  • Transfer the slices to freezer bags and freeze until ready to use.

Baking instructions
