Homemade Pizza Hut-style garlic bread, golden and buttery, torn from the loaf

Ingredients

Home-kitchen amounts for 4 — standard home-cooking quantities for this dish, not the chain’s recipe (chains do not publish theirs). Difficulty: Easy.

  • 1 baguette or small cob loaf
  • 100 g butter, softened
  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed to a paste
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped parsley
  • ¼ cup (20 g) finely grated parmesan (optional)
  • A pinch of salt

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 180°C. Mash the butter with the garlic, parsley and salt.
  2. Cut the loaf into thick slices, stopping just short of the base so it holds together.
  3. Spread the garlic butter generously between every slice and over the top. Scatter the parmesan if using.
  4. Wrap in foil and bake 10 minutes, then open the foil and bake 3–5 minutes more for crisp edges.
  5. Serve hot, torn straight from the loaf. Tip: crush the garlic to a paste, do not just chop it — chopped garlic burns in the oven and turns bitter — and the foil-then-open two-stage bake is what keeps the middle soft while the edges crisp.
