Make your own Ciabatta Garlic Bread at home with this easy recipe - packed with butter, garlic and fresh herbs plus parmesan cheese.

Today I am bringing you my recipe for homemade Ciabatta Garlic Bread. It's packed with butter, garlic and herbs. I have also added parmesan cheese - this gives the finished garlic bread a lovely cheesy-savoury flavour. Butter-soaked bread with garlic, herbs & cheese - right in my comfort food wheelhouse - should be its own food group!baked bread slices with herbs and garlic

Ingredients you will need to make this garlic bread recipe

  • 1 loaf ciabatta bread
  • butter
  • fresh garlic cloves
  • fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • fresh thyme
  • parmesan cheese
  • fine salt

*Please see the recipe card below for exact quantities and detailed instructions

How to make ciabatta garlic bread

My top tips for making this recipe

  • Not slicing all the way through the base of the bread loaf makes it easier to keep the loaf together.
  • When I wrap the loaf in aluminium foil, I crimp the two sides together over the top then fold/scrunch in the ends, this way it is easy to open up when it goes back into the oven to crisp up - see my next point.
  • After initially baking the bread, I remove the bread from the oven and open up the foil to expose the top of the loaf then put it back in the oven to crisp up slightly. This is optional, the bread will just be softer without this step.
