Today I’m bringing you a recipe for Freezer-friendly Garlic Bread that is made with real, fresh ingredients. I love making a batch of this bread to freeze and bake from frozen! It is perfect for dunking into a soup or serving alongside a rich pasta dish. It is made with the simplest of ingredients, unlike many store-bought versions. Butter, fresh garlic, parsley and mozzarella come together to create this garlicky, cheesy and melty masterpiece!
Can you make Freezer-friendly Garlic Bread ahead of time?
Yes! Follow steps 2–6. Freeze for up to 2 months wrapped in foil. To bake, remove directly from the freezer (leave wrapped in the foil) and bake in a preheated 200°C (400°F) (180°C/350°F fan-forced) oven for 18–22 minutes.
Is Freezer-friendly Garlic Bread suitable for leftovers?
Once cooked, this garlic bread is best served and eaten immediately.

Would this garlic bread go well with the vegetarian spinach pasta bake, or would you recommend any tweaks?
