What ingredients do you need for this cheesy garlic bread recipe?
Bread: A french bread loaf, sourdough or Ciabbata or even baguette will work for this recipe. Make sure you are getting a crusty, and sturdy bread, or else your garlic bread might get soggy.
Unsalted butter: Butter is used in this recipe to make the spicy garlic butter mixture that’s spread onto the bread!
Roasted garlic: Roasted garlic adds a sweet and nutty flavor to the bread, and it pairs perfectly with the savory butter and spicy Sriracha.
Sriracha sauce: Sriracha sauce is a spicy sauce made from chili peppers, vinegar, garlic, and sugar. It adds a spicy kick and flavor to the garlic bread.
Cheese: We are using a mix of shredded mozzarella cheese, and shredded parmesan cheese. The mozzarella helps with the melty aspect of the garlic bread, and the parmesan will add a nice, salty and nutty flavor to the recipe.
Chopped fresh parsley: Fresh parsley is added as a garnish to the finished bread! You can also go ahead and add parsley IN your butter mixture if you would like. You can also opt to use any other fresh herbs like basil, oregano, cilantro or thyme, to name a few.
Instructions to make this recipe
Roast your garlic
Take out your butter to room temperature. Set aside. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees for the your garlic.
Slice the tops off your garlic head, season with salt, pepper and drizzle olive oil. Roast and bake, covered with aluminum foil in a preheated oven for 40-50 minutes until roasted and able to soft squeeze. Keep the oven on for the bread later on.
Prep your garlic bread
Cut your bread in half lengthwise and place both halves on a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, squeeze out your whole heads of garlic, add in shredded parmesan cheese, Sriracha, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Spread the butter mixture evenly over both halves of the bread.
Bake and serve
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over the bread. Bake the bread for 20 minutes or until the cheese is melts. Broil for the last 5 minutes until it reaches your desired doneness. It should be bubbly on top, and melted throughout the inside of the bread.
Once the bread is done, remove it from the oven and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley. Let the bread cool for a few minutes before slicing it into pieces. Serve hot and enjoy!

How do I prevent the bread from getting soggy when making garlic bread? To prevent the bread from getting soggy, make sure to use a sturdy bread like French bread or sourdough. Also, avoid using too much butter or toppings, as they can make the bread soggy when it’s baking.
Can I use other types of cheese for this garlic bread recipe? Yes, you can use other types of cheese for this garlic bread. Some other ideas include cheddar and feta! Goat cheese will work too.
Can I freeze garlic bread? Yes, you can freeze garlic bread. Wrap it tightly in foil or plastic wrap, or in a big plastic bag, secured tightly, store it in the freezer for up to 2 months. To reheat, thaw the bread in the fridge overnight and then bake it in the oven until it’s heated through.
I would suggest skipping the mozzarella part, and then adding fresh mozzarella to melt when ready to heat through, but that’s optional. You can also freeze the garlic butter separately, and thaw out when ready to assemble.
