Next, sprinkle granulated garlic, black pepper, Mrs. Dash tomato and basil seasoning, and a pinch of red pepper flakes over the buttered bread. This combination brings a burst of flavor to every bite.

Broil the bread in the oven until it’s beautifully browned and crispy, which takes about 5 minutes. The aroma will fill your kitchen and leave everyone eagerly awaiting their first piece!
