garlic bread
Toasted Italian side
Garlic bread is sliced bread spread with butter, garlic, and often herbs, then toasted or baked until crispy.
It typically accompanies Italian dishes like pasta or serves as an appetizer.
We ordered garlic bread for the table.
The term also applies to breadsticks or rolls prepared the same way.
