Cheesy Sourdough Garlic Bread Recipe

The garlic and parmesan pair with the slightly tart sourdough for a zesty, delicious homemade garlic bread.

How do you keep leftover garlic bread?

Leftover garlic bread can be stored in an airtight container or wrapped in foil at room temperature for a couple of days. If you need to store the bread longer, it’s best to freeze the bread.
