¿Qué es Garlic Bread?
Garlic bread is a popular side dish consisting of bread (often a baguette or sourdough) spread with a mixture of butter or olive oil, minced garlic, and sometimes herbs like parsley, then baked until golden and crispy. It is a staple in many cuisines, particularly Italian-American, served alongside pasta dishes, salads, or as an appetizer.
"The magic of garlic bread lies in the contrast between its crisp exterior and tender, aromatic interior, making it far more than just a piece of flavored bread."
