Coconut Free Garlic Bread
Warm, garlicky, and impossibly buttery, this classic bread is the kind of side dish that disappears from the table before anything else. The spread comes together with softened butter, fresh minced garlic, flat-leaf parsley, and a pinch of salt and pepper — nothing fussy, nothing hidden. A foil tent during the first part of baking keeps the interior soft while the final few minutes uncovered give you those irresistible golden, bubbling edges. Optional Parmesan and red pepper flakes let you dial up the savory heat to your liking. Many store-bought garlic breads and seasoned spreads sneak in coconut-derived oils or emulsifiers, so making your own with straightforward dairy butter is a genuinely smart move. Every ingredient here is exactly what it sounds like, which means you can serve it with total confidence alongside pasta, soup, or really anything that deserves a great piece of bread.
