Description

This homemade Raising Cane’s style bread features thick-cut toast brushed generously with a garlic butter mixture and pan-toasted to a golden, crispy finish. Perfect as a side to fried chicken, soups, or salads, this quick recipe delivers buttery, garlicky goodness that’s irresistibly delicious.


Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 4 slices thick-cut Texas toast bread (or any thick-sliced white bread)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter with garlic powder and salt, mixing well until the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated to create a flavorful garlic butter spread.
  2. Butter the Bread: Generously spread the prepared garlic butter mixture evenly on both sides of each slice of Texas toast, ensuring full coverage for maximum flavor and crispiness.
  3. Toast the Bread: Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the buttered bread slices onto the hot surface, cooking each side for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown and crisp. Adjust heat as needed to avoid burning, and flip carefully for even toasting.
  4. Serve: Remove the toasted bread from the skillet and serve immediately while warm. This bread pairs wonderfully with fried chicken, soups, salads, or can be enjoyed on its own as a savory snack.

Notes

  • Use unsalted butter to control the saltiness of the bread and adjust salt quantity as needed.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of paprika or freshly chopped parsley to the garlic butter mixture.
  • If thick-cut Texas toast is unavailable, use any sturdy, thick white bread for similar results.
  • Cooking on medium heat is essential to achieve a golden crust without burning the bread.
  • Serve immediately for best texture; toasted bread will become soft if left to sit.
