Notes
Expert Tip: When slicing the French bread for your homemade garlic bread, make sure to stop just above the bottom crust. This will keep the butter contained and make it easy to separate the slices once they are baked, resulting in a perfect side dish.
Refrigerate: If you have leftovers of your homemade garlic bread, store them in the fridge. Once the bread has cooled, place it in an airtight container or cover it in foil or plastic wrap. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days.
Freeze: Unfortunately, this cheesy garlic bread doesn't freeze well. The texture of the bread can become soggy when thawed, which may not give you the same golden brown, crispy result you love.
Reheat Instructions: When you're ready to enjoy your garlic bread again, preheat your oven to 350°F. Place the refrigerated bread on a baking sheet and warm it in the oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until it's heated through. This will help maintain that perfect golden brown color and the garlic flavor.
