Ciabatta Garlic Bread
Crispy ciabatta garlic bread with bold, balanced garlic flavor, a buttery crisp top, and chewy center—perfect for pasta, soups, and saucy meals.
Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, (1 stick), softened
- 4-5 cloves garlic, very finely grated (use a microplane)
- 2 tablespoons parmesan, finely grated (optional, but recommended)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt, adjust depending on butter + parm
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- fresh cracked black pepper, to taste
- 1 loaf ciabatta bread, (10-12 ounces), halved lengthwise
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- To a small mixing bowl, add the softened butter, grated garlic, parmesan, parsley, olive oil, kosher salt, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, and fresh cracked black pepper. Mash everything together until well combined.
- Spread the garlic butter mixture edge to edge over the cut sides of the bread. Place directly on a sheet pan and bake for 10-12 minutes, until the bread is crispy around the edges and the buttered top becomes slightly golden.
