It's so interesting to see garlic bread made without fresh cloves of garlic. How does the garlic salt/powder compare? I grew up in an Italian household and we never owned garlic salt/powder since we always had tons of the fresh stuff around .

I love garlic bread and this recipe is mouth watering, makes me wanna cook spaghetti right now, but it's 11 pm here already

That looks very similar to how I make my garlic bread. I love using garlic powder. It's so much easier than using cloves & it has the same taste, to me anyway.

I was also brought up in an Italian household - fresh garlic all the time!

this is an easy recipe if you would like to try it:

1/2 cup butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 loaf unsliced Italian bread

Combine butter and garlic in a small microwave dish. Microwave on high for 1 - 2 minutes, until butter is barely melted. Remove from microwave and stir in Italian seasoning, paprika and Parmesan cheese.

Slice bread into thick diagonal slices. Place slices on a large baking sheet. Spread top of each slice with garlic butter. Place in oven, about 4 inches from the broiler. Heat on broil for 2 - 3 minutes, until lightly toasted. Serve immediately.
