For most garlic bread, bake it at 350°F to 400°F : 350°F gives a softer result, while 400°F is better for a crisper, more toasted finish.

A good rule of thumb is 10 to 12 minutes in a preheated oven, then a short broil of 1 to 2 minutes at the end if you want extra browning—just watch it closely because garlic can burn fast.

If you’re using frozen garlic bread, a lower temp around 325°F to 350°F is often recommended so the center heats through without the outside getting too dark.
