A terrific twist on garlic bread with those amazing ranch seasonings; definitely going into the keeper file.

Ranch Garlic Bread

This irresistible version of garlic bread leans on a special secret ingredient: Packaged Ranch Dressing. The powdered stuff in a little foil envelope. I thought about making my own ranch blend but then I thought, “Hey, why reinvent the wheel?” Ok, I didn’t think that, but I did think, “Hey, I‘ve got a packet of that Ranch stuff in the closet!” And it makes one of the best garlic bread recipes ever.

Ranch Bread is the perfect complement to a Pan Seared Pork Chops, NY Strip Steak, or, for something a bit lighter, like Minestrone soup.

Ranch Garlic Bread Ingredients

  • Butter – Make sure it is softened to blend with the other ingredients and spread easily on the bread.
  • Ranch seasoning mix – A simple blend of dried dill, dried parsley, dried chives, garlic powder, onion powder, dried onion flakes, salt, and pepper.
  • Garlic – Make sure it is finely minced so it basically melts into the butter spread
  • Minced parsley
  • Baguette – You can also use Italian bread.

How to Make Ranch Bread

  1. Prepare the compound butter: Combine the butter, Ranch seasoning mix, garlic, and parsley.
  2. Prepare the bread: Cut the baguette into 1/2-inch or so slices, but don’t cut all the way through the bread (see how to do this easily in this classic Garlic Bread recipe). Spread the ranch garlic butter on each side of all of the slices of the bread.
  3. Cook the bread: Place the baguette on a large piece of foil and pull the foil up around the sides of the bread, but not over the top — you want the top to be able to brown. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes at 375 degrees F.

Ingredients 

  • ½ cup 1 stick butter, softened
  • 4 teaspoons ranch seasoning mix (1/2 1-ounce packet)
  • 1 tablespoon very finely minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons minced parsley
  • 1 baguette

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 F. In a small bowl, combine the butter, Ranch seasoning mix, garlic, and parsley.
  • Cut the baguette into 1/2-inch or so slices, but don’t cut all the way through the bread; the goal is for the slices to remain attached at the bottom. One easy way to keep yourself from cutting through the bread is to place a chopstick alongside each side of the bread and slice the bread, stopping when the knife hits the chopsticks (see the video). You can use the handles of wooden spoons as well.
  • Spread the ranch garlic butter on each side of all of the slices of the bread, trying to keep the bread attached at the bottom.
  • Place the baguette on a large piece of foil and pull the foil up around the sides of the bread, but not over the top — you want the top to be able to brown.
  • Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the bread is hot and the top is lightly browned and crusty. Serve hot.

Notes

The best way to cut a baguette into 1/2-inch or so slices without cutting all the way through the bread is to use chopsticks as a guide. Place one chopstick on each side of the bread. Cut the bread into slices, stopping when the knife hits the chopsticks.
