Would we make this viral TikTok Recipe again?

Absolutely!

Dubbed as “Jumbo-sized croutons” by a commenter, we could not agree more with how these simple ingredients are prepared. Crunchy, golden brown, and bite after bite delicious, this side dish will become one of the most popular ways to cook bread in your home.

Ingredients:

Italian Bread – Any loaf of bread can technically be used to make this fried garlic bread. Soft French Bread and soft Italian Bread are the best overall options. Prep uncooked bread by removing the crust and cutting it into 2-inch CUBES.
Softened Butter – The easiest way to get softened butter is to remove stick butter from the fridge at least 30 minutes before using or to use a butter softener that allows the butter to stay on the counter and stay soft and spreadable. Do not melt butter.
Seasonings – dried parsley, dry Italian herb, salt, and fresh minced garlic.

How to make Fried Garlic Bread

Combine softened butter, dried parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, and minced garlic in a mixing bowl and combine well.
Using a spatula or knife, generously spread seasoned garlic butter on all sides of the bread slices.
Next, heat a large frying pan or cast-iron skillet over medium heat and add bread, frying on all sides until crispy and each side is golden brown.
Serve fresh bread immediately.

TIP: To make sure you have readily available soft, spreadable butter at all times, one of my very favorite tips to share is to use a butter dish or a butter boat.

Contrary to popular belief, butter typically does not need to be in the fridge. Here are a few of my favorite butter dish storage containers to leave out on the counter to be available for recipes and toast!

Our choices are the Dowan Butter Dish, Butter Boat, and Butter is Love Dish.
