Garlic Bread Butter

Absolutely the best Garlic Butter, hands down! Forget just chopping up a few cloves of Garlic and adding it to Butter. The real trick is to use Aioli & Butter. Aioli has an ample amount of Garlic that is pureed into the Oil. It really packs a punch of Garlic and offers those unique Garlic tones that you look for in a Good Garlic Bread.

Along with a few Green Herbs, some dehydrated Onion & Garlic Flakes for that speckled effect, some Butter Popcorn seasoning to really up the Buttery flavors, and you have a Fantastic Garlic Butter crafted for Garlic Lovers.

What Garlic Butter do Restaurants use?

The brand that is used in almost all restaurants when you order Garlic Bread or Garlic Fingers is Parkay, at least here on the East Coast.

Parkay Garlic Spread Ingredients

Aioli

Aioli or Toum is a Lebanese or Mediterranean Garlic Spread Dip. An emulsification of Garlic, Lemon Juice and Oil that creates a Garlicky White Sauce. Mainly used as a Dip, an ingredient in other Sauces, or brushed on Grilled Meats. This is the secret to an outstanding Garlic Butter that just has that right flavor.

Aioli can also be picked up at your local grocery store if you don’t want to make it. This by far is the easiest way to make it. Just combine the Aioli with Butter at a ratio you prefer and add the seasoning. Mix well. Slather it on some Garlic Bread and Bake or Air Fry.

Jar Aioli

I prefer the Aioli without added Lemon Juice for a Garlic Butter. You can include it if you like the flavor. With the portioned below, it’s about 1/2 tsp of lemon juice or less. If you want to add it in.

Pureed Jar Aioli

Jar Aioli

Place 6 Peeled Garlic Cloves (more or less depending on how strong or weak you want the Garlic Flavor) into the Jar with 1/8 tsp Sea Salt & 1/2 C of Sunflower or Neutral Oil and Puree.

Use a glass jar just wide enough to fit an Immersion blend or stick blender.

Butter

Add Butter to the Aioli, mix it in well, and you got the base for an Awesome Garlic Butter! This mixture allows us to refrigerate the butter and be able to use it almost immediately for Garlic Bread, Garlic Fingers and Twisty bread.

You can also place the Butter into the Jar to puree a bit for easier mixing of the two. Then empty into a container to add the seasoning to mix.

Garlic Butter Seasoning

With the base established of equal amounts of Butter & Aioli, now comes the seasoning.

One major ingredients that is going to really elevate the Garlic Butter is Butter Popcorn Seasoning. This will deliver a punch of butter and change the color more yellow.
