Freezer Garlic Bread Recipe
It is so nice to have garlic bread in the freezer always ready to go. It’s so convenient. Having these loaves pre-made in your freezer means that you can pull them out to go with any meal or when company pops by unexpectedly. This freezer garlic bread is a fraction of the cost of store-bought garlic bread. Making some loaves ahead means saving on time and money.
Freezer Garlic Bread Recipe:
- a loaf of French bread*
- 1 cup of butter, softened
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- salt and pepper to taste
- parsley
- optional: grated Parmesan cheese
*You can use store-bought French bread or use this foolproof, one-hour recipe to make your own. It’s the recipe I use when I make it homemade. When I’m short on time, I buy French bread to make this garlic bread.
Set out a loaf of French bread. Make cuts every inch or two (depending on how thick you want your garlic bread) down the loaf about 6/8ths of the way through. Don’t cut all the way down to the bottom.
Soften the butter and mix with minced garlic and the seasonings. Spread the butter mixture down between the bread slices. If you want, you can sprinkle shredded Parmesan cheese in between the slices on top of the butter mixture.
Wrap the loaf in two layers of tin foil. Freeze.
To serve, take it out of the freezer. Keep the aluminum foil on it and place it in the oven. Cook at 350° for 15 minutes. Open the foil to allow the steam to release.
Change the oven temperature to 450° and put it back in the oven for another 10 minutes. Serve with spaghetti, pasta with Italian sausage sauce, or any other pasta freezer meal. Here are some freezer meals that pair perfectly with a side of garlic bread:
