Garlic Bread with Olive Oil (Better Than Butter)

Stop Using Butter on Your Garlic Bread

There’s a better way to make garlic bread.

Swapping butter for garlic olive oil gives you a crispier texture, deeper flavor, and a cleaner finish that doesn’t feel heavy.

It’s a small change, but you’ll notice it on the first bite.

Ingredients

• 1 loaf of crusty bread (Italian or French)
• 1/3 cup Seven Barrels Garlic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced (optional)
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F
2. Slice the bread into 1-inch pieces
3. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, and salt
4. Brush generously over each slice
5. Sprinkle parmesan and parsley on top
6. Bake for 8–10 minutes until golden and crispy

Why This Works

Butter sits on the bread.

Olive oil soaks in.

That means:

• better texture
• more even flavor
• a crisp finish instead of greasy

And when you use a high-quality garlic olive oil, you’re layering flavor without needing extra ingredients.
