Thin and Crispy Garlic Bread with Miso Butter Recipe Ingredients
- Bread – I used a baguette for this garlic bread recipe. You can make garlic bread with most types of bread, but French bread is traditional. It’s best to buy a loaf of bread that’s not pre-sliced, so each piece is super fresh. Let me know in the comment section if you have any questions about which type of bread to use.
- Butter – This garlic bread can easily be made with regular or vegan butter. Be sure to soften the butter to room temperature so it mixes easily.
- Garlic – I love using fresh garlic that I mince myself. I love its flavor and freshness. If you normally use the pre-minced garlic that you can buy in a jar, that is perfectly ok, too!
- Miso Paste – This recipe calls for mellow, light miso pasta; you can use a different color if you prefer. Miso pasta can usually be found in the refrigerated section of the grocery store with the sauerkraut. If you have trouble finding it, you can omit it.
- Fresh Herbs – I used fresh thyme and Italian parsley. Fresh herbs are great for garlic bread if you have them on hand, but dried herbs work great, too!
- Salt – I like adding just a small salt pinch to this garlic bread. The miso adds saltiness, and if you use salted butter, that’s more salt. Just make sure not to over salt it!
How To Make Delicious Thin and Crispy Garlic Bread
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Carefully slice your loaf of bread into slices that are about a quarter of an inch thick. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper and lay bread slices down in a single layer.
- Add softened butter to a medium-sized bowl and use a fork to mash it up lightly. Next, add the garlic, miso paste, fresh herbs, and a pinch of salt, if needed. Mix everything together with a fork or spoon until all ingredients are fully incorporated into the butter.
- Spread a small spoonful of the butter mixture onto each slice of bread. The amount of butter will depend on how big your bread slices are and how buttery you want them. Place in the oven and bake until butter is completely melted and the bread’s sides start to brown. The bread should be thin and crispy, but not burned.
- Remove garlic bread from the oven, let it cool, and enjoy!
Garlic Bread Recipe Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this recipe gluten-free? No, but it can easily be made using gluten-free bread.
- Is this recipe vegan? I used regular butter, but this garlic bread can easily be made using vegan butter.
- What kind of bread should I use for the best garlic bread recipe? French bread is pretty traditional when it comes to garlic bread, but you can really use any kind of bread you like. I’ve even made garlic bread using English muffins before!

- How should I heat up leftovers? You can either heat in the microwave or the oven. The texture will not be as crispy as when they were fresh out of the oven, but they should still taste good.
