The Best Homemade Garlic Bread

This Homemade Garlic Bread tastes like home to me. It’s my Grandma’s recipe, she has made so many loaves of bread she could do it in her sleep! This bread is so perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and it’s packed with such great flavor in every single bite!
