I decided to stick to the recipe precisely this time and even took the time to measure out the ingredients (something I don't usually do, unless I'm baking). For my next attempt, I'm considering using either roasted garlic (though it might be more labor-intensive) or minced fresh garlic along with a sprinkle of garlic powder. I sliced the bread almost all the way through, wrapped it loosely in foil, and set it in a disposable aluminum pan. I definitely plan on making this again without hesitation, but I do agree that two tablespoons of garlic powder might be a bit excessive - and I'm a huge fan of garlic!

I will certainly be making this again, but I decided to tweak the recipe to make it even cheesier. I incorporated two different kinds of cheese for an extra cheesy flavor, opting for mozzarella and sharp cheddar instead of Parmesan. The dish turned out wonderfully.

Great experience! This recipe is fantastic - easy and fast. I followed the instructions using day-old bread, sliced and buttered, then seasoned and toasted in the oven for 8 minutes. Delicious results!

This recipe was incredibly straightforward and definitely a winner! I only made half of the portion because I wanted to use up some leftover hoagie bread rolls, and it was just enough to spread on 4 bread halves. I particularly enjoyed the addition of parsley and Parmesan cheese. Thank you for sharing this recipe!

The garlic bread I made was absolutely delicious! I used fresh garlic and parsley, and added a touch of Italian spice. It turned out to be the best garlic bread I've ever made!

Instead of using garlic powder, I opted for half a bulb of my own homemade roasted garlic. The result was unbelievably delicious. There wasn't a single bite left as we devoured the entire dish.

I have tried making this recipe multiple times now and it is truly delicious. While some reviewers suggested cutting the bread all the way through for easier butter application, I prefer the presentation when it's not cut completely. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful recipe!

I was looking for the butter to garlic ratio and stumbled upon this recipe. I omitted the parsley, but overall it was very delicious.

I really enjoyed the flavor of this garlic bread. Although it was a bit soggy/soft in the middle, toasting each slice individually made it delicious with a satisfying crunch.
