3 Tips for Keeping Homemade Garlic Bread Fresh

There are a few things that you can do in order to keep your garlic bread fresh for as long as possible. Just follow these simple tips:

• Store at room temperature. You don’t need to refrigerate your garlic bread; in fact, storing it in the fridge can actually cause it to dry out quicker. Wrap the garlic bread tightly in either plastic wrap or aluminum foil and it will last for up 1 to 2 days (don’t keep it for any longer than that because the butter used will begin to turn rancid after a couple of days at room temperature).
• Freezing is an option. Freezing garlic bread is a good option if you want to extend the shelf life without drying it out in the fridge. Allow the bread to cool completely after baking, and then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. Put the wrapped bread into a freezer bag, remove any excess air, and freeze for up to 3 months.
• How to reheat frozen garlic bread. Allow the garlic bread to thaw out overnight in the fridge. Once the bread has thawed, put it in the oven at 350℉ for 10 minutes (or until it’s heated through).

Use Leftover Garlic Bread In:

Here are some tasty suggestions for things you can do with your leftover garlic bread:

• Make garlic bread croutons to add to soups.
• Make mini garlic bread sandwiches to go with your favorite dips.
• Top with pizza ingredients and toast them to make mini garlic bread pizzas.
