I used to think that I could only make garlic bread with French baguette or Italian bread. And because we rarely have those in the refrigerator, I could never make it without planning. Sometimes I would make soup, thinking that it would be great to have garlic bread with it, only to realize I did not have the baguette to make homemade garlic bread.
After I made spinach tortellini soup recently, I also thought it would be amazing to serve garlic bread with it. Of course I didn’t have the right bread to make it. But this time, I decided to use sandwich bread. I am glad to tell you that it worked! This homemade garlic bread recipe with regular bread is so amazing, and ridiculously simple! I wish I made it earlier, so that I could make it every time I made soup.
Kitchen Tools That You Need
There are just a few things that you need to make this easy garlic bread:

– Cutting Board, for chopping garlic.
– Microwave Safe Bowl, for melting butter.
– Baking Sheet, for baking homemade garlic bread.
And here are the ingredients that you will need to make this delicious cheese garlic bread:

Can You Use Multigrain Bread In This Recipe?
We use white sandwich bread in this recipe, but you can definitely use multigrain bread, whole wheat bread, or any other bread for it.
Just be aware, that it will taste differently from the regular homemade garlic bread.
How Should You Store It
I rarely have any left, because this easy garlic bread made in oven usually disappears really fast.
However, if you do have some left, you can store it in the refrigerator for a day or two.
How To Make Garlic Bread With Sandwich Bread
For exact measurements, cooking process, and for how long to cook garlic bread, please see the recipe card on the bottom of this post.
Chop up the butter, place it in the Microwave Safe Bowl and melt in the microwave.
Add chopped garlic, Garlic Powder, and Italian Seasoning to melted butter, and mix everything together. You can buy Italian Seasoning, or you can make your own: How To Make Italian Seasoning.
Use the Basting Brush to spread the butter mixture on both sides of sandwich bread.
Because both sides of the bread are covered with butter mixture, you don’t need to butter the Baking Sheet. Arrange homemade garlic bread on the Baking Sheet and bake it. Then, take it out, turn the bread to the other side, and bake for a few more minutes.
Take the bread out of the oven, sprinkle with Grated Parmesan Cheese and let it cool. Serve with Instant Pot Turkey Meatball Soup and Watermelon Salad Recipe With Blueberries.

Wondering when to eat garlic bread toast? It goes well with soup, pasta dishes, salads, meats — pretty much anything! Here are some ideas:
For a delicious soup and salad dinner, serve with Instant Pot Turkey Meatball Soup, The Best Low Carb Cucumber Tomato Salad and Instant Pot Peach Iced Tea. Or, serve it with Easy Instant Pot Spinach Tortellini Soupta.
For a steak and veggies dinner, serve with Porterhouse Steak, Microwaved Frozen Broccoli and Easy Cucumber Lemon Mint Water Recipe.

For a yummy brunch, serve with Perfect Classic Deviled Eggs, Crispy Instant Pot Chicken Wings (made from fresh or frozen), Healthy Instant Pot Air Fryer Lid Sweet Potato Fries and Iced Latte.
Pro Tips
– What does this homemade garlic bread recipe with regular bread taste like? Seriously, this bread tastes similar to the usual garlic bread. Not exactly the same because the bread texture is slightly different, but pretty close to what you expect.
– For vegan garlic bread use olive oil instead of butter, you don’t need to microwave it.
– If you want to make double the amount of this garlic bread recipe from scratch, make sure to double the amount of the ingredients for the butter garlic paste as well.
– Timing for baking garlic bread will depend on how soft or crunchy you want your garlic bread to be. The timing in this recipe is for slightly softer bread. For crunchy bread, make sure to bake garlic bread in oven for a bit longer.
– Have some leftover garlic bread? Store it in the refrigerator in a container with a lid for 1-2 days.
– Out of Grated Parmesan Cheese? The bread tastes great without it as well.
