Homemade Garlic Bread with Sourdough
Crispy, golden sourdough slices slathered with garlic butter...simple, flavour-packed, and perfect as a side or snack.
Ingredients
- 1 sourdough loaf medium-sized, unsliced
- 100 g unsalted butter softened
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley finely chopped (plus extra for garnish)
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: 2 tbsp grated parmesan
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan).
- Slice the sourdough into thick slices, about 2cm is ideal.
- In a bowl (I use a bowl like this...it’s the perfect size and easy to clean), mix together the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and a pinch of salt until well combined. You can chop the garlic by hand, but a garlic press like this makes it much faster.
- Spread a generous layer of garlic butter over each slice of bread. If you’re using parmesan, sprinkle it over the top.
- Lay the slices out on a baking tray in a single layer. A sturdy baking tray like this ensures everything cooks evenly and crisps up nicely.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the butter is bubbling.
- Sprinkle with extra parsley before serving and enjoy warm.
