Texas Toast

This homemade Texas Toast garlic bread is made on the stovetop with just 3 ingredients. It's thick and soft and buttery, and perfectly golden brown - a great addition to any meal, from soups and salads and pastas, to food off the backyard grill!

Ingredients

  • 5 tablespoons salted butter divided
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder garlic powder tends to clump up after it sits for awhile, make sure it's not clumpy
  • 6 lices pull-apart bar-b-q bread or 4 slices Texas Toast see Notes below

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Gently melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a small bowl in the microwave, then stir in the garlic powder. Brush both sides of each piece of bread with the garlic butter mixture.
  2. Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat. When heated, add remaining tablespoon of butter and swirl it around over the griddle to evenly coat the griddle.
  3. Place bread on the griddle and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until each side is golden brown.
  4. Remove from heat and enjoy right away, while still hot and toasty. If using slices of Texas Toast bread, cut them diagonally into triangles before serving.

Notes

  • I like to make Texas Toast with soft white "pull apart bread", like they do at Raising Cane's. Here's a link to pull-apart bread, so you know what I'm talking about. I grew up on this bread - Mom bought it at local small town bakeries and served it for holidays and special meals. But it's hard to find where I live now. I get mine from the bakery at County Fair, a grocery store where my parents now live in South Dakota. I think this bread is much more of a southern or BBQ thing, from my online search results. When we ate at Salt Lick BBQ outside of Austin, TX this past October, they gave our family of 4 a half loaf of this pull apart bread to eat with our BBQ meal! If you can't find pull apart bread, substitute with Texas Toast Bread.
