How to Store Garlic Bread
When storing garlic bread it is recommended storing at room temperature. Storing in the refrigerator causes the bread to get stale and dry out quickly.
Our favorite way to store garlic bread, is in the freezer. Then when we want garlic bread, we thaw out and heat in the oven. It is as if you just made it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, after preheating the grill to medium heat place the seasoned French Bread on the grill. Watch it closely so it does not burn but the bread gets perfectly crispy in about 10 minutes.
When spreading the garlic butter mixture on the loaf of bread, spread a thick layer on the bread. We try and make sure to focus on the edges of the bread since the crust will be getting crispy.
