Ever wondered how restaurants keep their garlic cheese bread crispy on the outside but warm, moist, and soft on the inside? If you've ever made garlic cheese bread like I have, you'll notice that it gets completely crunchy throughout, and not very appetizing. After much experimenting, I have found the SECRET of restaurant quality garlic cheese bread, and I will now share it with YOU!
What you will need:
1 loaf of French bread
Margarine/butter (I used margarine.)
Garlic Powder (NOT GARLIC SALT! GARLIC SALT WILL MAKE THE BREAD A SALTY MESS!)
Basil (I prefer pre-dried, pre-chopped basil.)
CHEEEESE! (As much or as little as you would like. I used mozzarella. Any cheese that would work on pizza would work on this bread, as well.)
First, preheat your oven to 550 degrees, farenheit. If it can't reach this temperature, opt for as high as you can get it. The trick here is that you want to have a very high termperature for the bread. It will make the outside crispy, but the inside of the bread will stay moist and soft.
Now, cut your loaf of bread in half, like this:
Step 1:
Next, cut one of those halves in half. One half will serve 2-3 people. If you need to serve 4-6, use the entire loaf.
