The Special Ingredient For The Best Garlic Bread Around Is Mayo
By Noor Anand Chawla
Elevating garlic bread doesn't need to be complicated. All you need is one ingredient that will add extra gooeyness to your garlic bread: mayonnaise.
When you combine a dollop of mayonnaise with garlic and butter, its flavor notes can barely be perceived and its other attributes come to the surface.
In fact, mayo makes the spread applied to your French bread even creamier, and the condiment's higher fat content helps toast the bread, too.
Another big perk of this additional ingredient is that the garlic bread will come out of the oven with golden brown and extra crispy crusts.
Most recipes call for 2 tablespoons of mayo for every serving of garlic bread for four people. Add the mayo to your garlic, butter, and cheese mixture until it blends seamlessly.
