Frequently Asked Questions
Can You Freeze Garlic Bread?
Yes, you can freeze them in the refrigerator.
Before serving, reheat the bread in a toaster oven until they become warm.
You can also reheat the bread in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit, for about 5-10 minutes or until the inside of the bread becomes warm again.

Yes, you sure can. If you use regular bread, you don’t have to bake them in the oven.
You can make the bread on stove top with a skillet. Please follow my recipe.
Can I Add Cheese to the Spread?
Yes, absolutely. Cheese will make the spread tastier and packed with flavors.
I recommend adding 1/4 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese or Pecorino Romano cheese to the spread.
Can I Add Mayo to the Bread?
No. I don’t recommend mayonnaise in this recipe. The spread recipe is tasty and do not need any mayo added to it.
