Recipe Notes
*Italian Seasoning
This garlic bread recipe has been tested with my go-to brand of Italian seasoning. It is a coarser mix then most other Italian seasonings. If you use a brand that is more finely ground or powder-like, you may want to start with less than the recipe calls for and add more as needed.Frozen Garlic Bread Instructions
Once you've spread the two halves of your sliced loaf of bread with the garlic butter, just place it in the freezer. After it's frozen solid, you can stack the halves up and seal them tightly in a gallon size Ziploc bag. When you're ready to bake, just separate the halves and place them cut side up on a baking sheet. Bake according to the same instructions above — you'll just want to add about 5 minutes to the baking time when cooking from frozen.Nutrition
