Bread Machine Garlic Bread
This bread is great if you're a garlic lover like me! Sometimes I add even more garlic!

This is one of the best recipes for the bread machine I have. I do things slightly differently. I use olive oil instead of butter, fresh oregano from my garden chopped instead of parsley, 2 t. garlic cloves crushed instead of powder, and splenda instead of sugar. I put almost everything in the warm water first than the flour than the oregano and yeast go on top. The taste with these changes is excellant. (I tried it to the letter first and didn't like it.) If you find the bread doesn't raise very much just use the "scale this recipe" to adjust it. I find that 16-18 servings uses my 2lb. machine to capacity better than leaving it at 12 (the original setting on the recipe.) Good luck! ~jllebow

Overall, I'd say this recipe was very good, though I did take the advice of other reviewers and ended up modifying mine somewhat. First of all, I omitted garlic powder altogether and instead used three pounded cloves of fresh garlic-- you can most definately taste the garlic, but it is not overpowering. I also did not have any powdered milk, so I used 1/4th cup of condensed milk-- I think adding actual liquid instead of powdered milk improves this bread because others have complained of it being too dry. I added 1/2 tsp oregano, 1 tsp rosemary, and used vegetable oil instead of butter. I always hate the look of bread baked in a bread machine, so I set my machine for a dough cycle and finished the bread in the oven. When the dough cycle was completed, the bread had not risen very much at all even though the yeast was fresh. I turned the dough out onto a cookie sheet, covered and let rise for another half hour, then baked at 300 degrees for about 50 mins, brushing the top of the loaf with more oil before baking and again halfway through. When it was done, the bread was VERY soft and dense, the crust was perfection. I had friends over, and the entire loaf was eaten by us with just butter. Everyone loved it! I will be making another loaf tomorrow :).
I made the dough in the bread machine, then rolled it out onto a pan and made cuts in it and baked it in the oven for garlic bread sticks. I then brushed olive oil and sprinkled garlic seasoning and parmesan cheese (close to end of baking) on it. We ate the whole thing that night. But i find the amount of garlic powder in the recipe doesnt give it enough of a garlic flavor.
The bread that we made that was inspired by this recipe was very, very good, but this is because we didn't follow the recipe. I highly recommend dropping the milk powder and water as well as the garlic powder and instead using 1/3 cup whole milk and minced garlic. The flavor is much better and the bread cooks up better!
I added a tablespoon of minced garlic and found the flavor fabulous.
The bread itself was tough and crumbly. However, the *idea* of adding garlic and parsley to 'your favourite bread mix' will be a winner, I am sure!
Our family and friends loved this. Based on other reviews, I added a bit more garlic and it was perfect. It's definitely a keeper.
From jump street,I knew i was going to alter the recipe...MORE garlic,More butter, I added fresh ground peppercorn, the rainbow kind, not just black. It was GREAT!
Very good flavor! It filled the entire house with that unique garlic fragrance. Texture was slightly rough, but very tender and tasty!
I was not too fond of this bread. It may be my own fault. I had to make some substitutions. I used fresh garlic and parsley, because I did not have the dried. I should have left the crust selector on Light. The crust was tough. I like crusty crusts, but this was more just hard. I will try it again when I can remedy my substitutions.
Great basic recipe! I doubled the garlic, and used italian seasoning blend in place of the parsley (doubled the amount, again). I also added about 2 TB of parmesean cheese. Turned out great, and was wonderful served with lasagna!
I tryed and loved it. I used some suggestions from other reviews, adding 1 tbsp minced garlic and where it says 1 1/2 tsp salt I added 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp garlic salt with parsley. Also I put a little more parsley than it called for. Sliced with a little butter put in the oven for a few minutes wonderful. Love it!!Thanks!!
The sweet smell of garlic filled the air and everyone asked for more. It didn't take long for the loaf to disappear. The trouble was that they had to wait another 3 hours for another one to bake. Great recipe! (I used 3 tsp of minced garlic and substituted Italian seasoning for the parsley)
I found this bread to lack flavor, texture, and a good crust, everything you want in a good bread. I will not be making this again.
Very good, just add more garlic to taste.
The leftover bread made great croutons!
I added a LOT more garlic powder, and also more parsley flakes. We loved it! Then kids couldn't wait for it to get done! The whole house smelled wonderful!
Well I didn't read the reviews on this one before I made it and wish I had. I made this recipe as written. The bread is very good...it is dense but that's what I like about it. The family gobbled up the whole loaf at dinner. The problem is that I didn't realize it only yielded a one pound loaf. Had I known I would've doubled the recipe. The recipe states this yields a 1 1/2 pound loaf so I assumed it would come closer to the top of my two pound pan than it did. Instead it actually came to a little less than halfway. I will make this again but I'll double the recipe.
This bread goes well with many of the dishes my family likes. It has the tang of sour-dough along with the bite of the garlic. Very good
Tried this 2 times and tho very light and airy seems to sink in the center toward the end of baking. Excellant taste & texture.
Thank you for a perfect recipe, I love bread & garlic. The bread had a wonderful taste & texture. Thanks again!!!
We loved this bread!!!!!!!! It was simple, quick and very tasty. Will make this again and again.
I start this so that it is ready when the spaghetti or lasagna is. My family is nuts about this recipe. I have passed this recipe out to everyone. The loaf doesn't go last beyond dinner.
Although I added more garlic as other raters suggested, my husband and I were disappointed by the lack of garlic flavor this "garlic bread" has.
This Bread filled my whole kitchen with the wonderful smell of garlic. The bread wasn't dense, unlike some other breads I have made before. Advice to rinse your mouth throughy after eating.
I followed other reviewer's directions and made this on the dough setting and formed my own loaf to bake for 45 min at 350. I also added both garlic powder and fresh garlic and some parmesan cheese.
This will be my staple with Italian meals. As breadsticks it is great, and it works with 1/2 whole wheat flour-1/2 white. Plenty moist.
This bread was pretty good. It could of used some minced garlic and more spices. In other words there wasn't enough flavor. The tetxture was very nice. It was soft on the inside and crunchy on the out.
This recipe is AWESOME! I chose to use butter and let in melt in the warm water before I put the water in the machine. Also, instead of garlic powder I used 5 fresh chopped cloves. Use basic setting light crust. Really moist and yummy!
Husband loved, kids loved it, I love it. It's a "keeper" as we say in our house. I also used fresh garlic and added a Tablespoon of olive oil. Yummy!
I agree -- definitely needs more garlic. Next time I'll go with real garlic instead of powder. But my kids devoured it and it was delicious!
My whole family loved the bread! Next time I'll use a little more garlic, but nonetheless it was very tasty!
This was part of my holiday four mini loaf holiday gift pack. Friends loved it as did I.
I made this recipe tonight with chicken and spaghetti and my husband flipped over it. It was absolutely delicious. The only change I made was to use an additional tsp. of garlic powder and I threw in a few sesame seeds. I love this site.
We weren't too into this bread. I probably won't make it again
I thought this recipe was great!!! My Family loved it! A little more garlic needed than what was on recipe, but she did warn us about that!! I would highly suggest this recipe to anyone who has a bread maker!!! ;-)
Excellent Bread! I definitely reccomend "kicking it up" to what ever level you desire! I added extra minced Garlic and some Lowry's Garlic Salt...yum yum yum!!
I made some changes that took this recipe to the next level. Rather than add garlic powder, I added 10 cloves of fresh roasted garlic and 1 tbsp of cracked pepper. WOW! This will make your sandwiches rock! I can't wait until lunch...
This bread is the best!! You can really do so much with this recipes. Try adding some crushed red peppers, or for your everyday sandwhich bread do everything thing the same in the recipes, just leave out the spices. This makes the most moist and tastiest loaf you will ever eat. I have tred so many bread recipes and have been let down, but this one by far is the best. You can also add 1/4 cup of honey and switch the cup of warm water to milk ( leaving out the spices) and you will get the same as the milk and honey bread you can buy at the store. But back to the garlic bread, it is so good, you must try!! Serve warm with butter! :)
Great bread for spagetti. I use the dough cycle and make bread sticks.
This was a nice bread, even though I overcooked it it turned out nice and soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. I didn´t have any powdered milk available so I used 1/4 cup of evaporated milk. Also I doubled the amount of garlic and replaced the salt for Garlic & Herb seasoning. VERY YUMMY!!!!!
I read the comments and added extra butter for moistness and used two cloves of real garlic instead of the powder. (Tip - put saran wrap over grater before grating garlic cloves for less waste.) It turned out small and fairly crusty, but it could have been due to my lack of experience with my bread machine. The inside of the loaf was light and moist. The flavor was good but not very garlic-y, which makes me think I'd use 3 cloves of garlic next time.
This bread came out perfectly. I used the rapid setting on my breadmaker and it was just right with our Italian dinner. We are garlic lovers and this recipe is highly recommended!
Even after I added an extra teaspoon of garlic, it could have used more, but overall it was still quite tasty!
phew very garlicy! will cut down on the garlic next time
I used crushed garlic 1 tbsp instead of powdered garlic and unfortunately it didn't taste very garlic-like. I think I will add alot more next time...but the bread was good even so.
My 9 year old son and I both loved this! Like another user, I used Olive oil instead of butter. Mine was not "dense", nor was like "a doorstop"! It did not sink and there was a perfect amount of garlic. Fantastic, thank you!
This is really great recipe! To add additional flavor, I added: 1 Tbsp of Oregano and 1 Tbsp of Basil. This bread turns out so yummy!
First recipe I ever had turn out perfect in the bread machine
Wonderful recipe! I reduced the garlic (because I ran out). I topped a slice with pizza sauce and mozzarella cheese - baked at 350 til melted and it was a delicious lunch the next day! I will definitely make this recipe again (and again :) Thanks!
I thought this was real good. It didn't have as much garlic flavor as my family would have liked but we still thought it was good. Very soft on the inside and a little crunchy on the outside. Next time I will add more garlic powder and replace the salt with garlic salt.
AWESOME!!! I took the advice of another and used 3 tsps fresh minced garlic, 1 tsp of oregano and basil. This bread had plenty of flavor. It is very similar to the loaves of bread at the Macaroni Grill. Dipped it in olive oil and balsamic vinegar! A KEEPER. Great with pasta dishes.
The inside of this bread is soft and the outside is really crispy, almost like french bread. The garlic made my kitchen smell really good. You might need to add more garlic to the recipe to make it more obvious while eating it. I didn't have dry milk, so I just subtracted a tablespoon of water and added regular milk. I then added 1 Tablespoon of potato flakes (because I had used them in the Hawaiin bread that was really good). I don't know if the potato flakes made a difference or not but the bread is really good.
I actually made these into rolls. I put the ingredients in the bread machine on the dough setting. Then cut the dough into individual rolls and baked them for 15 min. WOW! I have none left! I made 12 rolls, and between myself and 3 others, we ate all of them. REALLY good warm with butter. I did add more garlic.
My family absolutely loved this bread machine recipe! I did make the following substitutions: 1 Tbl. vegetable oil, instead of butter, 3 tsp garlic powder, and 1 1/2 tsp. of "rapid rise" yeast, instead of the regular active yeast. When I use this yeast, I've used an appropriate "basic bread - Rapid" cycle for the machine, and have had great bread as a result.
Can’t give this a 5 star as I veered from the original recipe. I used some condensed milk and basil and other spices in the bread. In addition, I made the dough here as some other suggested and made my own garlic bread. It smelled wonderful, but despite how much garlic you put in it, it was still lacking flavor. BIGGEST HINT IS TO BE SURE TO LET THE BREAD STICKS RISE AFTER YOU ROLL OUT THE DOUGH. It made enough for two batches of about 8 bread sticks. The dough ball froze well for later. Oil the ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, freeze it until it is not pliable, and then put it in a freezer bag. It defrosted well and baked up just like when it was fresh.
This bread was pretty good. The garlic was not too overpowering. I will probably make it again.
My boyfriend loved this bread!!!!!!! I have made bread machine recipes many times and they always come out kind of dry and bland. This one was very soft in the middle and slightly crunchy on the outside, perfect texture!!! I did make some changes to the recipe, I did not have dry milk so I used about 1/8 or a cup of whole milk. And my family loves garlic so I used about 4 teaspoons crushed garlic and a little more parsley then called for. I would reccomend adding the extra garlic if you like garlic otherwise you can barely taste it. Very good bread Will make many times and use diff variations!!!!!!
Really good recipe! My first attempt at baking bread in a machine and it turned out delicious, although, I wouldn't put in as much garlic next time. Personal preference.
This turned out perfectly for us. Everyone in the family loved it, even the (somewhat particular) 16-mo-old. The only change I made was substituting a full TABLESPOON of minced garlic for the 2 teaspoons garlic powder as another reviewer recommended. Everything else was spot-on and my husband raved about it, from the crust to the taste to the texture and even how the house smelled when it got done baking. We will definitely be making this one again.
this bread turned out very well in my bread machine...like other reviewers i added more garlic powder and did 2 c ap unbleached flour and 1 c multigrain...it was yummy and we really enjoyed it...made fresh spinach and tomato sandwiches with it (and all the trimmings)...will make it again...thanks for the recipe (oh and i always add vital wheat gluten...but i do that for all my breads)...
This bread was wonderful! After I started I realized I was out of parsley so I used two tablespoons basil instead. This bread had an amazing basil garlic flavor...not sure why some people's bread lacked garlic flavor, maybe the brand of garlic powder?? Anyway, followed directions to a T except the the parsley/basil switch and this is a new favorite. It does make a somewhat short loaf, but when it's cut it looks like real sliced loaf bread, not that tall bm bread. Made eggplant sandwiches on this bread toasted....mmmmm! A+++ recipe!
This Bread was very good. I made it in my Oster bread machine and it was very light and fluffy. Do remember to make sure all of your measurments are exact though.
Made two loaves in one day! Made first as part of dinner for a new mom. Sliced up and shared a slice with my children. Set up second loaf in machine immediately!!!! Added extra minced garlic on top of garlic powder called for in recipe just because we love garlic. That's the only change. Made entirely in machine and crust was perfect!
I thought this bread was good. Would have been better if I choose the medium crust setting on the bread maker rather than the light. I also added italian seasoning. Very addictive.
This turned out nicely, however I concur with all the reviewers who have said that it needs more garlic. Next time I would double it (I used 2 tsp. fresh minced). I would also replace 1/2 of the parsley with 1/2 Italian seasoning. Since I live at a high elevation (about 4500'), I increased the water to 11 oz. and decreased the yeast to 1 tsp. For our own personal preferences, I cut the salt down to 1 tsp. This was good, but it can be improved.
Measured two teaspoons fresh pressed garlic plus one teaspoon garlic powder. Had a good garlic taste but not too much. I was surprised how short the loaf turned out, it was only 5-6 inces high!!! Was it because of the fresh garlic?? Still it was big enough for us. Thanks, Michele, cambridge ontario
Very good. I made a few adjustment from the beginning. I used 1 cup of warm milk instead of the water and the powdered milk. I used 1 Tbs. of olive oil instead of the butter. I added 1/2 Tbs. each of died basil and oregano. I used 2 cups wheat flour and 1 cup white flour. I also used three cloves of Garlic, minced. It was most delicious out of the bread maker, hot, and with butter spread on the top. The only disappointing thing was waiting for the bread maker to finish baking the bread.
This is an awesome bread. I made it last night with our spaghetti dinner. I changed just a few things. I did 1 cup milk in place of the water AND powdered milk. I also replaced the powdered garlic with a few gloves of fresh chopped, and I used 2 1/4 tsp yeast. I set my loaf color for light. I got a soft, delicious, flavorful, and aromatic loaf. We topped each slice with a bit of butter and sprinkled with parmesan cheese. It was a perfect addition to our meal.
This is fantastic!!! Yummy I added Olive Oil instead of butter & used fresh minced garlic - I make one a day now ~ it's a family favourite
I used 3 T honey in place of the sugar, and 1 T garlic cloves rather than powder. I also used olive oil instead of butter. Yummy!
This smelled great when it was baking. However, when I sliced it, it was extremely dense. I followed the recipe exactly. The only thing I can think of is that the recipe does not state the loaf size. I chose 1 1/2 lb, since that seems to be the most common size. Perhaps I should have chosen 2 lb. One thing I did that I would recommend is that, after slicing the bread, I put the slices on a cookie sheet, sprayed them with butter flavored cooking spray, sprinkled them with shredded parmesan cheese and then broiled them for a few minutes to toast the bread and melt the cheese.
I went off of another reviewer's advice and subbed out the dry milk for 1/4 cup of half and half (best I could do). Added rosemary and basil, diced up 4 cloves of garlic AND added a bit of garlic powder (my boyfriend and I love garlic). It really needed the extra liquid, it came out PERFECTLY. I used the dough setting on my bread machine and formed the dough into a long italian loaf. FANTASTIC!
I've made a lot of bread in my bread machine but this loaf turned out pretty disappointing. I increased the garlic some others suggested and you could still barely taste it. Also, my loaf came out hard and small so maybe my yeast was off or I did something wrong, I'm not sure. Will make again just to see if I can get it right.
The only reason I am rating this a four is because this is the basic bread recipe with the added parsley and 2 teaspoons of garlic powder. I actually used this to make dinner rolls, which is basically the same thing, just in dinner-roll format. The crust *is* quite crispy, and the bread on the inside is very soft and moist. Though I do not have a bread machine, I still made this by mixing all ingredients excepting the flour, which I added last. 2 and 1/2 cup of flour is plenty enough flour to use, and I suspect using a little less would still result in a good bread. If you really like garlic, I would suggest omitting one teaspoon of garlic powder and adding one clove of minced garlic. Also, since I did not have dry milk powder, I substituted it with a teaspoon of half and half which worked out fine.
This is an excellent bread!! I made it to go with a spaghetti dinner for my daughters 1 st b-day. It got rave reviews! I will admit, I made several changes. After reading what others wrote, and looking at a couple of similar recipes I made the following changes: Added 1/2 cup fresh grated parmesean cheese, oregano instead of parsley, about 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper, 3 large cloves of fresh crushed garlic. I still had the problem that others mentioned, with the bread falling, I think that adding about 1/4 more flour would fix that. Also, next time I will add two more cloves of garlic, it was good, but not a very strong garlic flavor. I will definitely be making this again! Thanks for the recipe!!
My family loved this bread though I did follow a few suggestions from other reviewers before making it. I changed the butter to oil, the parsley to oregano and I used crushed garlic instead of powder. I added 2 cloves of garlic for a 2lb loaf which gave a subtle garlic flavour which I would do again when making the bread for other people however my family adore garlic and I will try doubling it next time!
Not so great. Used fresh garlic as well as 1 tsp powdered. could hardly taste the garlic, might as well be normal bread.
A very yummy garilic bread. I added more garlic to the bread. It was yummy. I will be keeping this recipe on hand.
I really did enjoy this recipe. The next time I make this bread I intead to add a bit more garlic.
It was very good. It was only the tiniest bit dense, it rose up just fine, but overall it was very good and I can't wait to make it again! Thankyou Nicole!
i didn't like this recipe at all! I am a great lover of garlic but found the smell overpowering! i wont be mking this again
I was out of plain garlic powder so I substituted the same amount of McCormack's Garlic and Herb Seasoning, and I cut the dried parsley in half. Man! It is a bread to die for!!! It's especially good when used to make hummus sandwiches. Definitely give it a try.
Awesome! Wow, did my house smell fantastic! I used olive oil instead of butter, and Wildtree Herbs' Garlic and Herb Blend along with 2 tsp. fresh minced garlic. Superb!
We had friends over for dinner today and I tried out this recipe on them. It got rave reviews from the four of us. It was very soft and fluffy inside with the outside having a crusty texture. Next time I will use more garlic.
Has anyone made this bread without using yeast? I cannot eat yeast so if anyone has a nice bread recipe to share...I thank you now.
I loved this bread! I only made a few changes. Our bread machine was missing a part so instead I made it by hand and baked it in the oven at 350 degrees for 35 minutes. Instead of using garlic powder I listened to many other reviews and used three cloves of garlic. I replaced the butter with olive oil. As I wanted this bread to be nondairy I switched the milk powder for a tablespoon of rice milk. This is certainly a must do bread, moist on the inside, crisp on the outside. Next time I will try it half and half with whole wheat.
This was a so-so recipe. I tried it as it's written and it didn't rise well, was drier than a bone and didn't taste like garlic at all. I decided to try it again with a twist: 1 c. water 1 tbsp. EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) 1/4 c. milk 1 tbsp. sugar 1 1/2 tsp. salt 4 cloves minced fresh garlic 3 c. flour 1 1/2 tsp. active dry yeast 1/2 tsp. oregano 1 tsp. rosemary To really get the taste of the herbs, I heated the oil slightly and added the herbs to really get it going. Then I added it in.
I used a bit less parsley and added 1/2 t onion powder, 2 t dried basil and 1/2 t oregano, then needed to add an extra 2 T water because my dough was a bit dry. Bread turned out great though! We thought it was pretty garlicky. Not as garlicky as bread made with garlic butter spread on top, but the garlic flavor was definitely there. The herbs I added helped too since they added a lot of flavor, but it would have been good just as written as well. Dried parsley is more for color than flavor, anyway. Will definitely make this again!
Great Recipe! I've made this a handful of times already, and each time tried different variations of spices. Thanks for sharing!
I'm sure this bread is very good, but... It never finished baking as for some reason, my bread machine started SMOKING!!! :(
This was pretty good. The only change I made was to use 1 Tablespoon of garlic powder. The garlic flavor was very, very light. Made a nice size loaf for my family of four.
