Notes
Note 1: Use refrigerated Parmesan—never the shelf-stable kind (it’s not real cheese!). Go for good-quality grated Parmesan with a sandy texture for the best flavor and perfect saltiness.
Storage: Store leftover garlic bread in an airtight bag at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, wrap it in foil and bake at 350°F until warm. You can also freeze the buttered bread before baking and cook it straight from frozen, adding a few extra minutes of bake time.
