Garlic Bread The SECRET 99.9% DO NOT know how to make the best garlic bread

[@stephensano9156]

Every video recipe where you use garlic powder rehydrated, I am fascinated by the technique. Conceptually, this makes perfect sense to rehydrate aromatics. This recipe is a game changer for my garlic bread. I'm sure other recipes would also benefit from this process yielding a stronger garlic flavor where desirable such as stews or soups where a long cooking time requires increasing flavors that have melded together.

[@BackyardChef]

I agree. You can make outstanding garlic bread using this method without any fresh garlic! Great when you don't have any. No one will ever know! Best, Rik

[@lorrainewest8264]

[@BackyardChef]

Always! Thank you. Best, Rik

[@mackiemccauley4647]

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@alysoffoxdale]

I've been adding a pinch of oregano along with my garlic powder, as my father taught me some 50 years ago. American butter has more water than European, so I don't generally trouble with the rehydration step. I just set it on the counter to soften early in the day, and then allow it to contemplate itself for a bit after I mix in the seasonings before I spread it on the bread.

Excellent again, nothing like crispy on the outside soft in the middle garlic bread. The mix of garlic powder/granules and fresh garlic really is key, I’ve been doing the same 🙂 A mix of butter and olive oil is a good thing to do as well in my experience. I usually add dried parsley to the garlic butter, but I think your fresh basil & parsley finish looks better.

Interesting option. I often make garlic butter by itself, perhaps with 10/20% olive oil and parsley etc and the oil makes it spreadable.

I used fresh garlic for years. But for reasons I don't know, I began to notice random bitterness, then poor quality in the brands available in my area. Then, garlic and also onions began to appear which looked fine on the outside, but were rotten inside. I suspect they'd been frozen at some point. I finally started just using powdered garlic and also minced, dehydrated garlic from trusted spice companies. I've gotten used to cooking with both and find consistency in flavor and quality. I also use onion powder and dehydrated onion. But I do love fresh onion more, and I frequent local produce stands with success and also grow them in my garden.
