Frozen garlic bread

Buttery and garlicky, crisp on the crust and soft inside once baked.

Lens analyzed

Frozen garlic bread is sliced or whole bread pre-spread with garlic butter and frozen for a quick oven side, meant to go straight from freezer to oven without thawing. The garlic butter is spread and frozen solid before the bread ever leaves the factory.

Where it comes from

Garlic bread grew popular in North America as Italian-American restaurants served it alongside pasta, and frozen versions arrived once freezer-aisle convenience foods expanded through the mid-to-late 20th century. It's become a common shortcut for a side dish that once required making garlic butter from scratch.

Buying it

Check the box for a description of real butter versus a butter-flavored spread if that distinction matters to you. Press the package gently — it should feel solidly frozen with no soft spots, a sign of partial thawing.

Storing it

Keep it frozen until you're ready to bake; it holds its quality for about six months, and once baked, leftovers should go in the fridge and get used within a few days.

Keeps about 6 months in the freezer.
