Buttery 3-Ingredient Texas Toast
Yield: 6 servings
This homemade Texas Toast garlic bread is made on the stovetop with just 3 ingredients. It's thick and soft and buttery, with a tasty little punch of garlic powder. The griddle gets it perfectly golden brown — a great addition to any meal, from soups and salads and pastas, to most anything off the grill!
Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons salted butter, divided
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (garlic powder tends to clump up after it sits for awhile, make sure it's not clumpy)
- 6 slices pull-apart bread or 4 slices Texas Toast bread - *see Notes
Instructions
- Gently melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a small bowl in the microwave, then stir in the garlic powder. Brush both sides of each piece of bread with the garlic butter mixture.
- Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat. When heated, add remaining tablespoon of butter and swirl it around over the griddle to evenly coat the griddle.
- Place bread on the griddle and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until each side is golden brown.
- Remove from heat and enjoy right away, while still hot and toasty. If using slices of Texas Toast bread, cut them diagonally into triangles before serving.
Notes
Pull-apart bread: Mom always bought pull-apart bread loaves (sometimes called BBQ bread) at local bakeries when we lived on the farm, so that's what I like to use. But it's hard to find where I live now - so I get mine from the bakery at County Fair, a grocery store where my parents now live in South Dakota. If you can't find pull-apart bread, Texas toast bread is an excellent substitute that is widely available at grocery stores.
To bake in the oven: Place garlicky buttered slices of bread on a baking sheet and bake at 375°F for 5-10 minutes, or until golden, then flip and toast for another ~5 minutes. Be sure to keep a close eye on it to avoid burning.
To broil in oven: Exact cook time will depend on how hot your broiler is and how close the toast is to the broiler, so just keep an eye on it so it doesn't burn. This method will give you a slightly crispier buttery texture than baking.
