Sometimes you want something toasty, garlicky and buttery to go along with your main dish. That's where this quick and easy garlic bread comes in handy. Ready in less than 30 minutes, you'll be crunching your way to goodness in no time.

I like to pair this recipe with my easy baked ziti or spaghetti and turkey meatballs. It would also make a great side for a hearty soup or delicious salad.

Hales' Tip

If you don't have an Italian loaf, you can use a French baguette.

Hales' Tip

I cut each bread half into 6 equal slices, but you can make your slices larger or smaller.
