Key Ingredients- 5 slices of bread
- 70g unsalted butter (approx. 5-6 Tbsp)
- 3 Tbsp minced garlic
- 4 Tbsp sweet condensed milk
- 2 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 Tbsp dried parsley flakes
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, cut the bread into bite-sized pieces. Typically, cutting a standard slice of bread into 3 pieces is a good size for spreading the sauce. You can also cut them into 4 pieces or into long strips, depending on your preference. The key is to ensure the sauce can be spread well!
Step 2
Arrange the cut bread slices on a baking tray. Make sure there’s some space between the slices so they bake evenly and become crispy.
Step 3
Place about 70g of butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in short bursts of 10-20 seconds, stirring in between. This method melts the butter gently and evenly. Be careful not to overheat, as butter can splatter!
Step 4
To the melted butter, add 3 Tbsp of minced garlic, 4 Tbsp of sweet condensed milk, 2 Tbsp of grated Parmesan cheese, and 0.5 Tbsp of dried parsley flakes. Whisk everything together with a fork or spoon until well combined, creating your delicious garlic butter sauce.
Step 5
Now, it’s time to spread the prepared garlic butter sauce generously over each slice of bread. Make sure to cover the edges as well so every bite is flavorful. A good amount of sauce makes it even tastier!
Step 6
You can adjust the amount of sauce to change the bread’s texture. Applying a thick layer of sauce will result in a moister, chewier bread after baking, while a thinner layer will make it crispier. Adjust according to your preference!
Step 7
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 12-13 minutes. The baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven, so keep an eye on the bread’s color to ensure it’s golden brown.
Step 8
Voila! Your delicious, golden-brown garlic bread is ready straight from the oven. Enjoy this homemade garlic bread with its crispy exterior, chewy interior, and wonderful garlicky aroma. It’s best enjoyed warm!
