Background

I don’t understand why people buy frozen or ready-to-cook garlic bread. It’s so easy to make your own! Not only are  you able to create your own special spiced butter but you can use up stale bread that otherwise would end up in the trash. I normally make garlic bread from leftover baguette and ciabatta, but you can use up country loaves, sourdough loaves, panini and other bread rolls etc. This paprika garlic bread is just an example - you can add other spices or pastes to the butter (chipotle, pesto, curry etc). For a vegan version use dairy-free spread; for a gluten-free version use appropriate bread.
