These will become a Blackstone staple I’m sure! My only question is if I’m using Artisan bread slices is the Garlic bread the same pieces? I’ve never seen garlic bread slices. Or do I add powdered garlic to the butter that gets spread on the griddle?
Sorry for the confusion. I used artisan bread in this recipe and not garlic bread.
