Is there anything as comforting and delicious as garlic bread? Think about it, we’ll wait. The awesome combo is often relegated to a side dish, but purists know that garlic bread is often the highlight of the meal. If you’re an aficionado, here are three ways to make it even better. 

Grill the Bread

Most garlic bread uses ciabatta or a baguette as they are known for having a soft inside. One way to make it even tastier, is to crisp it up. Grill the bread on the pan—or even better, on an outdoor flame—to add an extra depth of flavor.

Confit the Garlic

Love garlic in every form? Then the confit version must surely be high on your favorites. Confit the garlic by heating the cloves in oil until they become soft and watch how easily they melt when spread on the bread! 

Add Extra Flavor

Yes, garlic bread is amazing on its own, but have you tried it with other ingredients? Rubbing garlic and tomato on crisp bread is a simple trick that will leave it sumptuous, as will topping the garlic bread with salty anchovies or sardines.
