Homemade Crunchy Garlic Bread Recipe at The Little Shop of Olive Oils

Homemade Crunchy Garlic Bread

 

There’s something undeniably magical about that first bite into homemade crunchy garlic bread—a perfect blend of garlicky warmth, crisp edges, and a drizzle of golden extra‑virgin olive oil. This version keeps it simple yet flavorful: no butter needed, just a robust garlic‑EVOO mixture brushed over crusty French or Italian bread, baked until golden, then broiled for that final crunch.

You can sprinkle on grated Parmesan for extra umami, or keep it light and vibrant with fresh parsley and just‑baked simplicity. Whether alongside a hearty pasta, a comforting soup, or a crisp salad, this bread elevates the meal effortlessly.

What makes this recipe stand out is the use of EVOO instead of butter. It creates a lighter texture that doesn’t leave greasy residue, while still boasting rich flavor (thanks to the garlic infusion)! This hack keeps it quick too: mix, spread, bake, and serve.

I love serving this at casual gatherings, pasta nights, or whenever the craving for something crunchy and garlic‑kissed hits. And if you’re feeling fancy, drizzle a bit more olive oil right before serving to deepen the flavor and sheen. Enjoy!
