Notes

How Long Does Garlic Bread Last?

Garlic bread stored in the refrigerator or the counter in an airtight container will last up to 3 days. It is actually recommended to store baked goods like this at room temperature. Placing it in the refrigerator will cause it to dry out, become stale and soggy.

Reheating Instructions

Just preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake the bread on a baking sheet. Wrap the loaves or individual slices in foil as it will keep the previously cooked edges from becoming too brown or burned. Bake for 10-15 minutes. Until hot and crispy again.

How to Freeze Garlic Bread?

It is best to freeze the prepared bread before baking with the garlic butter mixture spread onto the bread.
Therefore, add the prepared butter garlic spread to the bread. And place it on a parchment lined baking sheet in a single layer and freeze until solid. This takes about one hour.
When frozen, remove from the baking tray and place in freezer safe containers. Heavy duty freezer bags work nicely for this. Wrap each half in aluminum foil before placing in the bag. Pro Tip. If you slice the bread and place a few slices in the foil at a time and place in the bag. It is easy to remove just a few and back.
Safely freeze for up to 3 months.

How to Cook Frozen Bread   

Baking frozen bread is simple. Just remove from the freezer and the plastic bag. If you wrapped it in foil, you can keep it right in the foil and place on a baking sheet and bake in an oven preheated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes. It will be warmed through at this point.
To get a slightly crunchy and golden edge to your bread. Remove from the aluminum foil and place back on the baking sheet. Broil on medium-high for 1-2 minutes. Pro Tip. This is also a great time to add shredded cheese if you like cheese on your garlic bread.
