FAQ for

Garlic Bread Recipe

What ingredients are used in Nando's-Style Garlic Bread from Nando's?

Nando's-style garlic bread uses a French baguette or ciabatta, butter, garlic, olive oil, parsley, oregano, smoked paprika, chilli flakes, salt, pepper, and lemon juice to create that signature spicy, garlicky flavour profile that complements peri-peri dishes perfectly.

How to cook Nando's-Style Garlic Bread from Nando's at home?

Learn how to cook Nando's-Style Garlic Bread from Nando's by creating a flavourful garlic butter mixture with herbs and spices, spreading it generously on halved bread, then baking until golden and crisp. This simple 15-minute process yields restaurant-quality garlic bread with that distinctive peri-peri inspired kick.

Can I make this garlic bread spicier or milder according to my taste?

Absolutely! Adjust the chilli flakes to control the heat level - increase for a fiery kick similar to Nando's hot peri-peri, or reduce/omit for a milder version. You can also adjust the smoked paprika amount to fine-tune the flavour intensity to your preference.

What's the best type of bread for making homemade spicy garlic bread?

French baguettes and ciabatta loaves work best as they have the perfect texture - crisp exterior with soft interiors to absorb the flavourful butter. Sourdough is another excellent option that provides a tangy note that complements the garlic and spices beautifully.

How can I store leftover garlic bread and reheat it while maintaining its texture?

Store cooled leftover garlic bread wrapped in foil at room temperature for up to 24 hours. To reheat, place in a 180°C oven for 5-7 minutes while still wrapped in foil, then open the foil for the final 2 minutes to re-crisp the surface.
