How to Make Garlic Bread on a Long Roll

Make Garlic Bread on a Long Roll

Served on the side of a pasta or seafood dish, it's hard to resist the fragrant, buttery taste of restaurant-style garlic bread. If you want to emulate that garlicky goodness, you can create a garlic-butter spread that can be added to any type of bread you have at home. If you have a long roll of bread, such as a French or Italian loaf, you can heat the whole bread loaf and cut it up into individual servings. Does this Spark an idea?
