This Triple Garlic Bread recipe is a garlic lover’s dream, featuring three types of garlic—roasted, fresh, and granulated—combined into a flavorful garlic herb butter with fresh herbs and Parmesan cheese. Spread on a crusty Italian or French loaf and baked to golden perfection, this garlic bread makes a perfect side for pasta, soups, or salads.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
  • Yield: 16 pieces

Ingredients

Bread and Garlic

  • 1 loaf Italian or French bread (approx. 16 ounces), sliced in half lengthwise
  • 1 head garlic
  • 1–2 teaspoons olive oil

Garlic Herb Butter

  • ½ cup very soft unsalted butter (1 stick)
  • 8 cloves garlic, finely chopped or grated
  • ½ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup finely chopped leafy fresh herbs (e.g. basil, parsley, oregano)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • Kosher salt and ground black pepper, to season

Instructions

  1. Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and position a rack in the center.
  2. Roast the Garlic: Remove excess paper from the garlic head and slice off the top to expose the cloves. Drizzle with 1–2 teaspoons of olive oil, wrap tightly in foil, and place on a small baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour until the cloves are fragrant, soft, and golden. Remove and let cool.
  3. Prepare the Garlic Herb Butter: In a medium bowl, mix the softened butter with the finely chopped fresh garlic, grated Parmesan, chopped herbs, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Add kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste. Once the roasted garlic is cool, squeeze the softened cloves from the bulb and mash them into the butter mixture until well combined.
  4. Prepare the Garlic Bread: Generously spread the prepared garlic herb butter over the cut sides of the halved loaf.
  5. Bake the Garlic Bread: Place the buttered bread halves on a large baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes. For extra crispiness, switch the oven to the broiler setting and broil on the center rack for 2 to 3 minutes until golden and toasted. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  6. Slice and Serve: Transfer the bread to a cutting board and slice into 16 individual pieces using a serrated knife. Serve warm with your favorite pasta, soup, or salad dishes.

Notes

  • Use a crusty Italian or French loaf for best texture and flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of fresh garlic according to your preference for garlic intensity.
  • Watch the bread closely during broiling to avoid burning.
  • The garlic herb butter can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 2 days.
  • Fresh herbs like basil, parsley, and oregano bring vibrant flavor; feel free to customize with your favorites.
