Mam there is no need to preheat ?
khanita, preheating is required. i have mentioned in the first step. preheat for 15 minutes at 200 degrees celsius.
Hello mam,my hubby loves garlic bread…wanna try it ….plz tell me can we use processed cheese spread instead of processed cheese??
shuchi, processed cheese spread will give a different taste. but you can still try. with cheese the taste is better. you can even use cheddar or mozzarella cheese.

Hi,
I tried this sterday in my convection microwave. Unfortuantely,the cheese i put on the top became brown n hard 🙁 Where did i go wrong? 🙁
what temperature did you use and did you use convection mode only or both convection & microwave combination mode.
Thanks a lot once again for a wonderful recipe… Quick to make and yummy… Hubby loved it
Thanks a lot
Five stars!
welcome zehra, thanks for positive feedback 🙂 and you are welcome.
Hi Dassana. I always turn to your site when I need a recipe. 🙂 Though the taste was good, even after baking for 10 minutes, the cheese hadn’t melted. But the bread got toasted and became too crisp. Is it because I used parmesan cheese? My knowledge of the types of cheese is practically zilch.
thanks saurabh. parmesan cheese won’t melt. you can mix it with a cheese that melts like mozzarella or cheddar. generally parmesah cheese is used to sprinkle on salads or pasta or soups.
Super easy and super yumm. I also added a bit of virgin olive oil to the butter. Turned out more delicious.
Thanks for sharing such fantastic recipes.
welcome always preeti and thankyou for your kind and positive words 🙂
Hi
Thanks for all your recipes they’re wonderful.
I am intrigued by mention of garlic chives.
Do you get them here in India?
What are they called in North India?
While I’m at it, could you also help me, where can I get pearl barley?
Or barley grains without the chaff?
To make lemon barley water?
Thanks again for a wonderful website.
thanks. we do get garlic chives in india. they are called as hara lahsun in hindi. but usually garlic chives are available during indian winters. barley is called as jau in hindi and you should be able to get them in a local grocery store.
Hi mam I have LG microwave convection oven. I baked it for 8 minutes at 200°c but neither the bread was brown even a little nor the cheese melted. What should I do ?
chandni, baking for some more time is needed. i hope you preheated the oven for at least 10 to 15 minutes before you kept the bread for baking.
Hi garlic bread seems to be a nice and easy recipe, I’ll try it tomorrow.
surely try shubha 🙂 and let us know how it was thankyou
