Scale
Ingredients
- Half loaf bread
- 4 tablespoons butter (1/2 stick salted or unsalted, softened)
- 1 & 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (or to taste)
- 2 tablespoons garlic (fresh, minced, roughly 2 cloves)
- Pinch salt (if using unsalted butter)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s hot and ready to bake the bread evenly and achieve a crispy texture.
- Make the Garlic Sriracha Butter: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter with garlic powder, sriracha sauce, fresh minced garlic, and a pinch of salt if you’re using unsalted butter. Mix everything thoroughly to create a flavorful spread.
- Spread the Mixture: Spread the prepared sriracha garlic butter generously over the cut side of the half loaf of bread ensuring an even coating for full flavor.
- Bake: Place the bread on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the butter mixture is bubbly.
- Serve: Remove from oven, cut into slices, and serve immediately while warm and crisp.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of sriracha based on your heat preference for milder or spicier garlic bread.
- If you prefer, use salted butter and omit the additional salt to control sodium levels.
- For a more intense garlic flavor, add an extra clove of garlic or brush the bread with a bit of olive oil before spreading the butter mixture.
- This recipe is best eaten fresh but can be reheated in the oven for a few minutes to regain crispiness.
