Recipe from my sister, Olivia
I originally made this recipe a few years ago when I was prepping recipes for some farmer friends to have in their freezer during the busy harvest season.
They loved how easy it was to prepare, and even claimed it to be their favorite recipe out of everything I made for them that year!
Since then, I’ve made it a few different times for various occasions. It’s so quick to prepare ahead of time, and it works really well for spur of the moment guests or when you aren’t sure until the last minute how many guests you’ll be serving.
Pair it with these super popular Individual Mini Meat Lasagnas for a great make-ahead meal for the freezer!
Simple Freezer-Friendly Garlic Bread
- 1 stick butter, slightly melted
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 16-inch loaf french bread
Thickly slice bread into 1-1/2-inch slices. Mix remaining ingredients together in a small bowl.
Brush butter mixture evenly on both sides of bread. Lay bread flat on foil-lined cookie sheets and freeze for 2-3 hours. Peel bread off of foil, place in freezer bags, and freeze for up to 3 months.
To prepare: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place slice(s) of frozen bread on cookie sheet(s), and bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown in color. Serve immediately.
Yields: about 10 slices

I love garlic bread! I make mine slightly different to this recipe. I use a wholemeal French stick of bread. I slice the bread longways down the middle and evenly spread the butter mixed with the herbs and garlic over both inner sides. I wrap the bread in a foil parcel and bake for 10 minutes and then unwrap the foil parcel to expose the bread and bake for a further 5 minutes. When its done, simple cut into slices. The crust is lovely and crispy and the inside is lovely and moist. You use slightly less butter this way but it still tastes gorgeous!
Thanks for sharing your method! We love hearing about other ways to cook things! -Jordan, MSM Team
Why not use Italian bread?
