Recipe for homemade garlic bread with herbs
Have you ever tried making your own garlic bread…? It’s easy! And it tastes so good! Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and packed with flavor from garlic, cheese, and herbs – plus a sprinkle of coarse salt on top, mmm….
It’s basically just a light whole wheat dough, rolled out and spread with a homemade garlic mixture, rolled up again and baked in the oven. Super simple, but very delicious, and it’s always a bit fun to make your own…
Eat it as it is, or with an extra pat of butter on top, or perhaps with a soup or a salad, or as a side to a stew… or or or – it all works!
