I ate a lot of spaghetti growing up and, because of this, I have eaten a lot of garlic bread. My favorite is the garlic French bread but alas, I will eat any bread with garlic and butter.

My love for anything bread is well known, but this isn’t about my love for just bread, but rather my love for garlic bread. There are two options available: frozen garlic bread and homemade garlic bread. They cook at roughly the same time and temperature, so availability and prep time could be your deciding factors. Which bread makes the best garlic bread? As previously mentioned, my preference is French bread as that is what I grew up eating and continue to use when I make it at home. Check out the recipe below for how to make air fryer garlic bread using French bread, whether it’s the frozen kind or homemade.
