Choose Your Method for Golden Goodness Two cooking methods bring that perfect golden crispness:
Pan Toasting: Place the buttered side of the bread slices on a heated skillet or griddle. Toast until they achieve a golden-brown, crispy texture.
Baking: Arrange the buttered slices on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until the edges turn crisp and golden.
Serve Warm and Delightful Once done, remove the garlic bread slices from the heat source. Serve immediately
