    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

    How to make ciabatta garlic bread

    2. Mix well to combine and set aside.process images showing how to make garlic bread
    3. Slice ciabatta loaf into 2cm (¾") slices, without cutting through the base.

    5. Evenly divide butter mixture between bread slices.
    6. Wrap loaf in aluminium foil and bake.photos showing process of making recipe

    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.
