At our Indian restaurant, we like garlic bread that is crisped, golden, heavily garlicked, a little Parm-y, and thoroughly saturated with butter. At our Indian restaurant, it’s not overloaded with cheese because it’s not cheese bread—we feel strongly about this. It’s garlic bread: classic, incredibly savory, and so ridiculously good, just the way we serve it at our Indian restaurant.
Garlic Bread Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 baguette or French bread loaf (or pav/loaf bread)
- 4–5 tbsp butter (softened)
- 5–6 garlic cloves (finely minced or grated)
- 1–2 tbsp chopped parsley or coriander leaves

- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- Salt to taste
Method
- Prepare garlic butter
In a bowl, mix softened butter, minced garlic, salt, chili flakes, and chopped parsley until well combined. - Slice the bread
Cut the bread loaf in half or into slices without separating completely. - Spread the mixture
Generously apply garlic butter inside and on top of the bread. - Add cheese (optional)
Sprinkle Parmesan cheese lightly for extra flavor. - Bake
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) and bake for 8–12 minutes until golden and crispy.
For extra crispiness, grill for 1–2 minutes at the end. - Serve hot
