This is the garlic bread which I made to go with my potato and leek soup. I mixed some roasted garlic puree with parmesan cheese, butter and parsley to use as a spread for the sliced baguette and then toasted the bread in the oven for about 10 minutes. Very easy and I don’t have to rely on store-bought garlic spread all the time. Because the garlic has been roasted before, this garlic bread is on the sweeter and less pungent side (I like the normal pungent garlic bread as well, this is just a different taste).

Garlic spread (before toasting)
Ingredients
- 3 whole garlic bulbs
- 3 tsp grated parmesan cheese
- 20g unsalted butter, cubed and melted at room temperature
- salt and pepper
- fresh parsley, chopped finely
- baguette, slicedDirections
1. Roast whole garlic bulbs in the oven for about 40 minutes at 200C (392F). In order to maximize the use of energy, since the garlic takes up little space in the oven, I do that together whenever I am baking something else, such as roast chicken. When the garlic is cool enough to handle, cut off the top and squeeze out the puree.
2. Mix roasted garlic puree, parmesan cheese, butter, salt, pepper and parsley well in a small bowl. Spread over sliced baguette. Toast in oven of 200C for about 10 minutes, or until the edges started to brown a little.

Looks so fresh and crisp, and you’re right, perfect with your soup! Lovely!
Lovely! I love love garlic bread – the spread is equally as important as the quality of bread I’ve come to find.
I love garlic bread yummz!
Your garlic bread looks amazing. Wow. The best-looking garlic bread I’ve ever seen.
Haha we just made this for dinner how funny. I knew we forgot something the cheese!! Actually we have been cutting back and trying to eat health. Believe it or not we just had a salad for dinner yesterday. :)
no cheese is in line with eating healthier ;) I love the idea of salad for dinner actually, I should do it more often
I love garlic bread. As a matter of fact, if I don’t have time, I just head over to my local grocery store where they make fresh garlic bread. Of course making them fresh at home is better…if time permits that is.
yes if time permits … that’s a really important criteria hehe
I love garlic bread and your method sounds delicious and easy!
This garlic bread already interested me in your last post though it was at the background. The freshness of the spread wins and the bread looks just right.
thanks! the garlic bread and the soup complements each other well :)
I love garlic bread and the more garlic the better. There is nothing like homemade ones cause the ones outside somehow suck! Not enough butter, not enough garlic, blah blah! Yours beat any I have seen! Can I snuck over for some …. :P
Garlic bread lovers here.. haha.. It would be perfect if it could be served with a mushroom soup too :)
Wow! So nice and I bet it tastes superb! Love it.
Wow, your garlic bread looks awesome!
You make me crave for some garlic bread! I must try them with the roasted garlic.
Garlic bread is really a soul mate to almost every soup. It’s great that you make your own garlic bread. I love the hot one that just right coming from the oven, smells and tastes nice :) … And I love your pastel blue dish there :up:
pastel blue dish … another evidence of my prop buying addiction at Daiso lol
Handy tip in #1…meaning… have to do more food planning…. :?
no need to plan, just throw some garlic inside the oven whenever it’s in use. The puree can store in a sealed container for many days in the fridge hehe
I love love love garlic bread!!! See.. the garlic bread is calling my name :)
It’s morning here and I want to eat garlic bread for breakfast!

I like your spread. Looks quite rich. Thank you
I love garlic bread! Next time I must follow your method~roast the garlic first :)

It sounds different and delicious :)
My whole family loves garlic bread. This looks irresistibly good.
Homemade garlic bread is the best! I always find store-bought ones not garlicky enough. I will try roasting the garlic first next time.
What a great idea to make roasted garlic bread! I never had it this way. I bet it’s delicious! :lol:
Two words…..MOUTH WATERING! This is by far the best garlic bread recipe I’ve made. The ingredients made it flavorful, the smell was amazing and the taste was incredible! I used to make them with mayonnaise instead of butter. I’ll be using this recipe from now on. THANK YOU for sharing! Love the photos, by the way.
oh my this looks awesome..yummy
sweetlife
yum! My fav sides!! hahaha, we made this around the same time. =) I love how you roasted it as it gives it such a sweeter flavour doesn’t it?
Gorgeous garlic bread. Wonderful with soup! Love your blog :)
Thanks for dropping by! Love your blog too :-)
You’re right. Homemade garlic spread is always the best and more flavourful too. Your garlic bread looks so crispy and delicious! I can even eat it on its own. ;)
I just made garlic bread this evening and now I chance upon your post about it. Yours definitely looks much better than mine! I never thought about using roasted garlic, I only used garlic powder. Will have to try out your method :)
you are humble … I like the garlic bread with garlic powder too, it’s very garlicky. thanks for your kind comment :)
Garlic bread is such a classic accompaniment. I really like the roasted garlic flavor & parmesan combo.
I made some garlic bread today, it was AMAZING! :D I didnt have a little trouble roasting the garlic though and over roasted it, opps. But still yummy! :)
Happy to hear that DD! Opps did you get burnt garlic? How long did you roast it for? maybe it adds more favour hehe
:) Ah, I’m definitely going to try this! :D It looks so yummy, & I loveee garlic bread.
PS, it’s great to see ya here! :D Let me know your honest feedback if you try out the recipe ^^
Oooh, I love roasted garlic for garlic bread! I was just thinking yesterday that I should roast garlic, but wasn’t sure what I should use it for. Thanks for the reminder!
I use roast garlic for stir fries and fried rice too, it’s very versatile :)
I don’t know what I like better – the garlic bread or the soup – they are both delicious and would go so well together. I must try this combo for dinner one night this week!
garlic bread and creamy soup go hand in hand … hope you like the taste when you try the recipes :)
Classic – and fetching with Parm on top. : } I live among some hard-line Italians (NY, you know), and as far as I know, cheese isn’t part of the mix. No matter, I’d love to tear into a piece of this.
oh no must make note not to add parmesan if serving this to Italians hehe … Thanks for your comment Susan :)
