This recipe comes from our Milwaukee store, where staff always talk about using the cheese sprinkle on garlic bread, so here's a recipe for how to do it with The Spice House's Taylor Street Garlic & Herb Seasoning (previously Old Taylor Street Cheese Sprinkle).

Bread can be lightly toasted so that it is soft or longer so that it is firm; that is a personal preference.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh garlic instead of garlic powder?
Yes. Use 1 to 2 cloves of minced fresh garlic for a stronger garlic flavor. Mix it into the softened butter and seasoning. Fresh garlic may brown faster, so watch the oven.
What breads work best for this recipe?
Italian, sesame semolina, and sourdough are recommended, but any crusty loaf will work. Slice about 1 inch thick or cut on the diagonal for larger pieces.
How can I make this garlic bread dairy-free or vegan?
Replace the butter with vegan butter or extra-virgin olive oil. Use the same amount and mix with the seasoning. Bake the same way, though texture will be slightly different.
How should I store and reheat leftovers?
Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 8 to 10 minutes until warmed and crisped. Avoid the microwave if you want to keep it crisp.
Can I prepare this ahead or freeze it?
Yes. For make-ahead, spread the butter mixture on the sliced bread, wrap tightly, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. To freeze, wrap well and freeze up to 1 month. Bake from frozen and add a few extra minutes to the original bake time.
How do I make the top extra crispy or browned?
Bake the bread at 375°F for the listed time, then switch the oven to broil for 30 to 90 seconds while watching closely. Alternatively, toast the slices lightly before spreading the butter mix and finishing in the oven.
What can I use instead of Taylor Street Garlic & Herb seasoning?
Use grated Parmesan or Pecorino mixed with a pinch of dried oregano and parsley, or substitute with any garlic-herb blend. Adjust salt to taste since cheeses can be salty.
