Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (2 1/2 teaspoon) package active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water

I like to add a little bit of grated Parmesan cheese to the garlic butter. It gives the garlic bread a nice cheesy flavor.

I've made this garlic bread with both white and wheat bread. I prefer it with white bread, but it's still delicious with wheat bread.

This garlic bread is a great way to use up leftover bread. I usually make it with French bread, but I've also used sourdough and even croissants. It's always delicious.
