Notes
- Using salted butter: Omit the added salt. Extra finish: Sprinkle with flaky sea salt before serving.
- Classic garlic bread: Replace wild garlic with 1 additional clove of garlic.
- Storage & reheating: Wrap leftovers in foil and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven at 180°C (160°C fan) for 8–10 minutes until warmed through.
- Slice the loaf diagonally into 2 cm intervals, without cutting all the way through.
- Spread the garlic butter between each slice. Wrap in foil and bake at 180°C (160°C fan) for 15 minutes.
- Open the foil and bake for another 5 minutes until crisp.
