Unless you hate garlic, I’m pretty sure you’d love garlic bread. And if you make your own, you’ll never head out to buy those frozen ones again. I guarantee. It’s so easy and so much tastier. I like mine cut in strips. Then I’ll dip them in my chicken stew/ beef stew/ Western soups. Mmmph. Heavenly.
UPDATE (2014): Even my kids love it!
Easy Garlic Bread Sticks
Garlic Bread Sticks
Author: Simply Mommie
Prep time:
Cook time:
Total time:
Serves: 2
Ingredients
- 2 slices of plain bread
- 30g garlic (sliced/ minced)
- 30g unsalted butter (I used Lurpak)
Instructions
- Cut the bread into 1- 1.5cm strips.
- Melt the butter and saute the garlic in it (the smell is HEAVENLY). Do not brown the garlic as it becomes bitter.
- Toss the bread strips in and coat them with the garlic butter on one side.
- Arrange the bread strips and toast them in the oven for about 4 minutes.
- Leave them in the oven if you prefer totally crispy sticks (we LOVE this). If you prefer them to be soft, take them out immediately after 4 minutes. Toasting them for only 4 minutes prevents the garlic and bread from burning and yet I can still achieve really crispy garlic bread sticks!
- UPDATED: If using an Airfryer, arrange the bread sticks in the Airfryer basket. Place a steaming stand on top of them to prevent flying and burning. Fry at 180degC for 4-5 minutes.
- Serve bread sticks with soup/ stew (or you can eat it on its own! - YUM!).
Notes
Add any herbs of your choice to the garlic butter before coating the bread if preferred.
