Reviews
This is a favorite recipe that is asked for time and time again. Wonderful flavor. The best thing is that it freezes like a dream. So if you have basil left over, pour it all into a blender, puree and let defrost at room temperature. Comes out great months later! I use pinches of dried rosemary and sage for convenience-its just as good!
Easy to make and was very good garlic bread!!
the wonderful aroma and fab. taste
Didn’t have any sage but it was still great.
this garlic bread tasted really good and it looked so pretty .. it was white with a thin layer of that beautiful green color then the light brown cheese on top, which looks so professional … but dont brush too much garlic pesto on top or all you will taste is the garlic .. my family asks me to make it everytime we eat anything that would go great with garlic bread .
Friends loved it, I wasn’t quite as crazy about it, but it was good
All of the ingredients in the recipe combine perfectly to create the most delicious garlic bread. Since everything we make is only as good as the ingredients we use, I would recommend using only the freshest, organic herbs and garlic and a high quality olive oil. The result will have you coming back for more.
This is the best Garlic bread I’ve ever tasted.
Great because it doesn’t use butter , but provides outstanding taste.
I’m not sure what I was looking for in this bread, but I was disappointed. It was a little too “herby” tasting and lacked a depth of flavor. I usually love Wolfgang’s recipes, so was surprised by me response to this one.
