Notes
*This recipe calls for one loaf of Italian bread, but you can use any similar bakery loaf! French bread turns out pretty much the same. You can use something like a baguette or ciabatta bread, but your garlic bread will likely turn out crispier and will need to be baked for less time. Keep a close eye on it!
**When making thick, Texas Toast-style slices, you will end up with about 8 slices (depending on the size of your bread), and they will need to be baked closer to 15 minutes. If you are cutting thin slices, you will have more slices and they will need to be baked closer to 10 minutes.
