WHAT ARE THE HERBS USED ON GARLIC BREAD?
Every garlic bread recipe differs. Some garlic bread recipes just use garlic as their only spice, while others branch out and add Italian spices like oregano or basil or parsley or cilantro.
HOW TO STORE GARLIC BREAD?
Store: Wrap leftovers with foil and store in the fridge for 2-3 days. The bread will gradually become stale so freeze if you want to store them for a longer amount of time.
Reheat: the microwave works, but we prefer the oven or toaster oven.
