Better-Than-Dominos Garlic Bread Recipe
Higher than Dominos! For a very spiritual Garlic Bread expertise, skip the flowery bread and use a fundamental French baguette. And don’t even take into consideration skimping on butter!
Garlic Bread
You may’t order pizza with out a aspect of garlic bread. It could be like ordering a burger at Maccers with no fries. (Oh the sacrilege, speaking about a lot quick meals in a single submit! 🙈)
And whereas some individuals dive straight for the most important slice of pizza, I at all times – ALWAYS – go for the garlic bread first.
Who’s with me right here??? 🙋🏻♀️
Easy methods to make garlic bread
There are a lot of methods to make garlic bread. However for me, the Dominos means will at all times be the easiest way: a baguette sliced nearly throughout, then every bit slathered with garlic butter, wrapped in foil and baked till toasty.
My garlic butter is made with 2 tsp freshly minced garlic, 1/2 tsp salt and 125g / 1 stick butter. The proper garlic-salty steadiness!
Greatest bread for garlic bread
For a very epic, traditional Garlic Bread expertise, my one agency rule I’ll by no means budge on is that this:
NO FANCY BREAD ALLOWED
In my world, traditional Garlic Bread ought to at all times be made with inventory commonplace grocery store or fundamental bakery French stick / baguette. The crust isn’t that thick, and it’s often fairly comfortable somewhat than crispy. As soon as slathered with butter and baked in foil, I discover it yields the proper ratio of crust crunch to comfortable, heat, garlic butter soaked bread.
Then again, a thick crust such as you get with fancy artisan baguettes isn’t any good – an excessive amount of crispy crust in comparison with comfortable bread inside. Too onerous to swallow!
Fundamental French stick is ideal. See? 😍
Contemporary garlic is crucial!
Bread apart, I solely have one different rule: please use actual garlic. As a lot as I’ll rip into Dominos and Pizza Hut garlic bread with enthusiasm, there’s no denying that it has a component of sourness to it which might be as a consequence of utilizing jarred garlic as a result of that’s the principle distinction I discover between recent and jarred garlic. From the preservatives, I count on.
Therefore why home made will at all times be so significantly better than Dominos. 🙂 As a result of the garlic is actual and recent!!
Selfmade Garlic Bread.
Fully, completely, ridiculously, insanely, can’t-stop-eating-it scrumptious.
Put a juicy, completely cooked steak and Garlic Bread in entrance of me, and I’d select the Garlic Bread each time, any day and twice on Sunday.
These photographs are killing me. Gotta cease taking a look at them! – Johnsat x

Notes
1. Bread – You can make Garlic Bread with any bread you choose. But for a Dominos/Pizza Hut copycat (my favourite!), use a basic bakery French stick / baguette.
French Sticks (baguettes) in Australia is usually around 60 cm / 2 ft long with a diameter of 7 – 9 cm / 2.7 – 3.5″.
2. Garlic flavour will reduce slightly once cooked, it’s harsh when raw
3. Nutrition per serving.
