How to Make 3 Ingredient Garlic Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened butter, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  3. Cut a loaf of your favorite bread into thick slices (about 1 inch thick).
  4. Brush the garlic butter generously onto both cut sides of each bread slice.
  5. Arrange bread slices on a baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 8 minutes.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
