   Soft Garlic Bread Variation

   Prefer a softer garlic bread? Here's another way to do it! After preparing your butter mixture, slice the bread into 1-inch pieces without cutting all the way through the bottom. Spread a teaspoon or so of the butter mixture between each slice. Wrap the loaf in aluminium foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes. This keeps the bread lovely and soft while the garlic flavour infuses throughout.
