Notes
- Make it cheesy – Top bread with shredded mozzarella, cheddar, provolone, Colby Jack, or Monterey Jack cheese. Follow the recipe instructions and broil for the last 2 minutes to get a crispy, cheesy top. Serve with some store-bought marinara or homemade marinara sauce for the best flavor.
- Reheating in the oven – Wrap the garlic bread in foil so it doesn’t dry out, then bake it at 350°F for 10 minutes in the oven. For crispier garlic bread, remove the foil for the last 2 minutes of baking.
- Reheating in the air fryer – Reheat the garlic bread by air frying at 350°F for 3-4 minutes.
