This stripped-down garlic bread relies on just a loaf of bread, garlic butter, and shredded mozzarella for a crispy-edged, gooey-centered side dish. It bakes fast under high heat, making it a simple addition to pasta night, soup, or a casual dinner. Minimal prep means it comes together in the time it takes the oven to preheat.

Ingredients

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment.

  2. Spread the softened garlic butter evenly over the cut sides of both bread halves, going all the way to the edges.

  3. Place the bread halves cut-side up on the baking sheet and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over both halves.

  4. Bake until the cheese is fully melted and the edges of the bread are golden, 10 to 12 minutes.

  5. Remove from the oven and let cool for 2 to 3 minutes before slicing into pieces and serving.
