Homemade Garlic Bread

Bread makes everything better, right? Especially crusty, chewy, buttery, garlicky, bread. If I’m having a bowl of pasta, specifically with red sauce, garlic bread is a must. That is the true definition of a comfort meal to me. This recipe is so SO easy and incredibly good. Make it with my Truffle Vodka Sauce for a perfect meal at home.

Entertaining tips:

1. To make ahead, complete all the steps up to putting the bread in the oven. Cover bread with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 day before baking and serving.

2. Serve with my Rigatoni with Truffle Vodka Sauce for the perfect cold weather comfort dish.
