Best Garlic bread in San Francisco
“Crusty bread soaked with garlic and butter, baked until the edges crisp and the inside drinks it all in.”
What the real thing tastes like
Garlic bread (also called garlic toast) consists of crusty bread slices topped with garlic and butter, and additional herbs such as oregano, chives or parsley. It is then either grilled until toasted or baked in a conventional or bread oven. Garlic bread is typically made using a baguette, or sometimes ciabatta which is partially sliced downwards, allowing the condiments to soak into the loaf while keeping it in one piece. The bread is then stuffed through the cuts with oil and minced garlic before baking. Alternatively, butter and garlic powder are used, or the bread is cut lengthwise into separate slices which are individually garnished.

Garlic bread is crusty bread slices crowned with garlic, butter, and herbs—oregano, chives, parsley—then grilled or baked until the edges crisp. A baguette or ciabatta is the traditional canvas: partially sliced lengthwise so the oil and minced garlic soak deep into the crumb while the loaf stays whole, or cut into separate slices and garnished individually. Either way, the bread becomes a vehicle for butter and garlic to meld together.
