    Deb's tips for the perfect dish

    If you have any extra butter mixture, you can spread it on top of the bread when it comes out of the air fryer. This will add even more flavor and deliciousness!

    • Use softened butter. Leave it out for at least 30 minutes.
    • If you're serving a large crowd, you can double or even triple this recipe. However, you will need to make the garlic bread in batches.
    • This is a great recipe to use up leftover stale bread.
    • If you're not a garlic fan, you can reduce the amount of garlic in the recipe.
    • Place the bread in one even layer in the air fryer. Do not stack it.

        We had bread fixed isn’t the Air Fryer a couple of weeks ago and was delicious. It’s a great way to fix it.
