Recipe tips for making perfect ciabatta garlic bread
- Let the bread sit for a few minutes after taking it out of the oven to allow the garlic butter to soak in and the flavors to meld together.
- Use real garlic instead of garlic powder for a more intense and flavorful taste. Use a garlic press or mince garlic by hand to help distribute the flavor evenly throughout the bread.
- Use real butter instead of margarine or other substitutes for a richer butter mixture, and more authentic flavor.
- Use a serrated knife to slice your rolls or ciabatta loaf in half.
