Garlic Herb Sourdough

Garlic Herb Sourdough

There’s nothing quite like warm, golden garlic bread — especially when it starts with fresh sourdough. We used our house herb dip mix, blended with butter and fresh garlic, to make a simple spread that turns any loaf into the star of the table.

This recipe is flexible: you can make it heavy on the seasoning like we do, or go lighter if you prefer a subtler flavor. Either way, it’s quick, cozy, and perfect for pairing with pasta, soup, or a fresh salad.

Ingredients

  • ½ loaf fresh sourdough (any variety works!)

  • 4 Tbsp (½ stick) unsalted butter, softened

  • 1–2 cloves fresh garlic, minced (to taste)

  • ⅓ packet The Sour Crumb Herb Dip Mix (or more, if you like it bold — we do!)

  • Note: This covered half a sourdough loaf, double if using the entire Boule.

    Ingredients

    • ½ loaf fresh sourdough (any variety works!)

    • 4 Tbsp (½ stick) unsalted butter, softened

    • 1–2 cloves fresh garlic, minced (to taste)

    • ⅓ packet The Sour Crumb Herb Dip Mix (or more, if you like it bold — we do!)

    Note: This amount covers about half a sourdough loaf. Double the recipe if you’re using a full boule.

    Instructions

    1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment for easy cleanup.

    2. Prepare the spread: In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, herb dip mix, and minced garlic until smooth and well combined.

    3. Slice the bread: Cut the sourdough into thick slices (about 1 inch).

    4. Spread generously: Coat each slice with the garlic herb butter, making sure to cover edge to edge for maximum flavor.

    5. Bake: Arrange slices on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the bread is golden and the edges are lightly crisp.

    6. Serve warm: Enjoy right away with your favorite meal — or sneak a slice straight from the pan (we won’t judge).

    Notes & Tips

    • Extra crispy? Broil for 1–2 minutes at the end — just keep a close eye so it doesn’t burn.

    • Make ahead: Prepare the garlic herb butter in advance and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days. Spread and bake when ready.

    • Serving idea: Pairs perfectly with spaghetti night, but also makes a great appetizer board alongside cheeses and olives.
